New White House Plan Aims to Surpass All Else
Mrs. Henderson, wife of ex Senator Weiderdim, petitions Congress with a design for a new executive mansion on Meridian Heights. The plan features white marble terraces, extensive grounds, and formal federal spaces intended for public use and presidential comfort, offering panoramic city views and a distinctive modern grandness. The proposal, resembling a blend of classic library form and contemporary ornament, seeks to elevate ceremonial and official functions beyond the current White House, with the presidents apartments on the west wing and rooftop garden. The committee likely considers the plan in the coming session.
