Former President Donald Trump is currently overseeing the construction of a ballroom in the White House. This project follows a history of significant renovations and additions made to the White House by previous presidents.
President Theodore Roosevelt was responsible for the construction of the West Wing. His successor, William Howard Taft, made the Executive Office oval in shape. Franklin D. Roosevelt added the entire East Wing and included an indoor pool for his personal use. President Harry S. Truman undertook a major renovation, gutting the entire White House. Richard Nixon added a bowling alley, while Barack Obama included a basketball court in the premises.
The ballroom project is part of ongoing developments at the White House. For more information on this project, see the recent developments regarding the demolition of the East Wing for the ballroom.
