The White House – The History Of An American Idea

The White House – The History of An American Idea, by William Seale

“So grandly did it rise over the nascent city, so supremely complete did it seem compared with the Capitol, which was long yet to be finished, that it was the prize statement that Washington the city would prevail.” – William Seale

Now back in print, ‘The White House: The History of an American Idea,’ William Seale examines the legacy of the mansion’s 200 years and brings together the story of the architecture of the White House and the story of the First Families and designers who shaped it. Mr. Seale served as White House historian for the White House Historical Association.
