Description of Pictures: LEGO White House Exhibit
11/20/2018 - 01/27/2019
The White House Historical Association and National Park Service will open a new temporary exhibit at the White House Visitor Center featuring a scale-size LEGO model of the White House.
The LEGO White House was originally created as a part of LEGO’s Americana Roadshow. The 1:30 White House scale model is 80 LEGO bricks tall, or 2 1/2 feet. It took four model builders 825 hours to complete.

Wikipedia Description: President's Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
President's Park, located in Washington, D.C., United States, includes the White House, a visitor center, Lafayette Park, and the Ellipse. President's Park was the original name of Lafayette Park and Square. The current President's Park is administered by the National Park Service.
White House Visitor Center:
The White House Visitor Center is located in the north end of the Herbert C. Hoover Building (Department of Commerce headquarters between 14th Street and 15th Street on Pennsylvania Avenue NW). The visitor center serves as a starting point for those going on a reserved tour of the White House. The various exhibits also provide an alternate visitor experience for those who did not schedule a tour. The themes of the six permanent exhibits include First Families, Symbols & Images, White House Architecture, White House Interiors, Working White House, and Ceremonies and Celebrations. A variety of other exhibits change frequently during the year.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
