Night photos are good here. You'll need someone else to take it to make it good. Turn around and get the Washington Monument . Photosphere to get them both.

It was amazing! Loved seeing the history, the photos, and hearing different stories from USSS. Would definitely recommend but be prepared for long lines and possibly waiting longer than you thought.

If you want to see sunny and bo, get there around 5pm when they're doing their afternoon walk!!!

Good luck trying to get over here. It’s open sporadically due to Pres Trump’s movements, and also can’t get right up to the fence anymore

The day of Reagan's first inauguration was also the day American hostages in Iran were released. Seven days later on January 27, 1981, the President greeted them on the South Lawn of the White House.

Been here for a number of Marine One departures and arrivals during the past several administrations.

Too bad they are not doing tours anymore as I can't remember I time when they have not. The view from the South lawn is far and you might have a better view from the North lawn.

It looks pretty good now, but have you seen the pictures from the 70's when they had summer patch? It was awesome!

While in the White House, the Clinton's had two pets a cat named Socks and a dog named Buddy.

If you want to take a photo in front of the WH, north side is much better.

The South Lawn was a favorite spot for President Carter to go jogging.
