The Truman era White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave reopens after two years of work costing over 3 million.

The first floor gains color with deeper blues and emerald greens. notable changes include a celadon dining room, new Hepplewhite and Chippendale furnishings, and red damask draperies. The East Room features lemon gold silk damask and portraits saved from the 1812 fire. The second floor remains informal with restored pieces in the Monroe and Lincoln rooms, while the third floor prioritizes simplicity. The kitchen is modernized and the old kitchen becomes a conference room, with a whiter overall appearance.
