White House makeover by McKim reshaped 1902 residence
In five months architect Charles F McKim transformed the aging White House begun by Theodore Roosevelt into a lighter, more efficient 20th century executive home. He removed prewar clutter, moved staff to a new West Wing, expanded family quarters, and streamlined public spaces with Edith Roosevelt pushing hidden utilities and portraits gallery. The work, completed by November 4 1902, defined a durable Rooseveltage image for the presidency.
