For more than 225 years, the White House has been continuously shaped and reshaped by the presidents and families who have called it home. A Changing White House is a 35-minute documentary produced by The Associated Press that explores that evolution through the people who have witnessed it firsthand or have deep personal and professional connections to the mansion.
The documentary traces some of the most significant transformations in the buildings history, from the addition of the North and South Porticoes and a third floor, to the once-controversial Truman Balcony and the more recent demolition of the East Wing.
But behind that history is a remarkably familiar story. Like any home, the White House has been adapted by generations of occupants to reflect changing needs, tastes and times. Each president and first family has left something behind, and together, those choices have shaped the White House we know today.
After today, after more than two centuries, it remains what it has always been -- a changing White House.
