So everyone seems to like my post about Presidential portraits, so I wanted to share this with you all.
This is one of my favorite sites, it is a virtual map of the white house complete with historical images and rare photos.

I just want to share a few of my favorite rooms with you guys and really recommend the site.
The Third Floor Hall
Like the other floors of the White House Residence, the third floor features a wide central hallway that offers seating for casual entertaining.
Before the Truman reconstruction further enlarged the third floor, this hall was more open and featured a circular railing around a skylight that let light from the rooftop skylight filter down into the second floor below.
The Solarium
The Solarium, or Sun Room, was added to the White House in the early 20th century by William Howard Taft in the form of a "Sleeping Porch" to give the first family a cool place to sleep on hot nights. It was improved in 1927 when the third floor was expanded, and Grace Coolidge called it the "Sky Parlor." It was redesigned again in the 1952 Truman reconstruction and now includes a kitchenette.
The Treaty Room
My favorite room in the second floor
