Hey Bob...check this out.

Awesome pics of the "gutted White House", circa 1950 during renovations.

Jesus, "gutted" is right!

The part about them tearing down that cat and rebuilding it inside showed Truman's smarterestical side.

Love the one of the dudes in the ventilation shaft, and the one of the worker with the demolition crew wearing a vest complete w/ pocket watch. LOL

If it was up to me they'd demolish that thing and sell the land to help pay the bills. And let those president assholes stay in the Super 8 in Camp Springs, MD like I did when I was in DC. I didn't see a thing wrong with those accomodations. We very much enjoyed getting high and riding the metro back and forth. That thing's better than any ride at Disney.

great pictures.
