The White House proper was totally gutted to the studs and rebuilt under Truman because it was in danger of collapse. I don't know exactly when elevators were added.

For the West Wing, when you are President, people come to you, you don't go to them. Unless you are a hateful blob of a man, in which case people don't come to you and they use stairs as an moat so you can't go to them. For the residence, yea, he probably needed an elevator. Quick research: Quote Going up, Mr. President? The family elevator is the main elevator of three in the Residence (the others are in the pantry and under the Grand Stair in the Entrance Hall). Before elevators came to the White House, this area had only a back stairway, useful for servants—or a president looking to avoid office-seekers on the main stairway. Chief Doorkeeper, Captain Pendel, wrote: Where the elevator now [1901] is, there used to be a pair of little old-fashioned stairs. You would go up a few steps and come to a landing; up a few more steps and another landing, and so on. This was a favorite stairway of Mr. Lincoln's, for he used it more than any other in the house. An elevator had been planned for the use of James Garfield's elderly mother, but his successor Chester Arthur installed the first one in 1881, an early hydraulic model, which required the removal of the stairs. In 1898, an electric model was installed, but it did not work very well. It was replaced with a more efficient model by architect Charles McKim during the 1902 TR renovation. President McKinley's assassination still fresh in her mind from the previous year, Edith Roosevelt's request to McKim was to "make the elevator door wide enough to admit a stretcher." So it appears that the residence has had an elevator since 1881. http://www.whitehousemuseum.org/floor1/elevator-hall.htm Edited June 30, 2021 by PleaseBlitz 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just throw him in a chamber with all his anti-vaxxer friends. They should be okay with that since it's perfectly safe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
