The White House East Wing was constructed in 1942 during President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration. It was built to cover the construction of an underground bunker and provide space for additional staff and offices during World War II. The structure was built on the site of the 1902 glass-enclosed wing constructed by architect Charles Follen McKim.
1902: An earlier, glass-enclosed wing was constructed on the foundations of an older structure by architect Charles Follen McKim to serve as a formal entrance for social functions.
1942: The East Wing as it exists today was built at the request of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Purpose: The primary purpose was to cover the construction of the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), a now underground bunker. It also provided space for offices and staff.
Modifications: The wing has been renovated and modified multiple times since its initial construction.
I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.
