Picturing the President's House: ANDREW JACKSON
 
graphic detail

Title: President Andrew Jackson During his Inauguration at the White House

Description: President Jackson was known for opening up the White House to visitors of all classes. His inauguration party lasted for hours as throngs of people from packed streets pushed into the White House. This painting captures the rowdy scene with its broken furniture and stifling crowd. It took a whole week to scrub and clean the White House after the party.

Date: 1970
