Thursday was our Sustainer Christmas outing and we toured the West Wing, an exact replica plus other things in a private home where we live. It is a long story so I will just show the finished product.
George was a Navy pilot and flew this plane. It is suspended from the ceiling. The last shot is from the second story.
The flag which gives you an idea of the first floor size where two Ferraris, a Bentley and a red vintage Cadillac convertible were housed.
A gym housed in one corner.
The second plane photo.
.Walking straight ahead you enter the replica West Wing. GWB 2 rug, Obama wallpaper, white shell moldings from same company that made the ones in the White House
Presidential seal in ceiling.
Exact replica of Resolution desk. A famous photo has young John John playing at JFK ‘s feet.
Moi on the phone at the president’s desk.
It is all exactly replicated using many of the same vendors that provide the White House with things.
Off to the left is the Cabinet Room and the Vice President’s office.
The opposite direction has the First Lady’s office. This photo of Jackie Kennedy hangs there.
The veranda, fountain and gardens were spectacular.
The second floor is a party room with two bowling alleys, stage, sound equipment, bar to accommodate 50 bar stools, a video game corner, two billiard tables and a hand shuffleboard.
We were allowed to tour this private residence “garage” because our Sustainer leader is friends with his neighbor and helper with all things White House. She served as our docent. Afterwards we passed the “house” on our way to lunch.
