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.
The Past few days I’ve been thinking about the anniversary of the loss of my dad back in 2015. It was a pure blessing to take care of him and his final living years. I wanted to show you some of my trees. I’m growing. We have a peach tree, a mango tree, a low quad tree and an avocado tree. And the flower box I’m growing my grape vines which are in their infancy and they’re finishing up their season.
Good morning 😃 the pool is 79 now and it should be 80 in a couple hours so I will be going swimming today. This is probably going to be my last week of swimming because I believe we’re gonna be heading into fall temperatures which bring my pool temperature down. I definitely want to get a pool heater.
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.
