Compiled by Stewart D. McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, White House Miscellany is a charming collection of stories and facts that "connect all Americans to the ever-changing yet continually iconic White House and the lives of the families who have made it their home." With snippets on how the White House got its name, White House numbers (i.e., there are 35 bathrooms), the architects, amenities, garden numbers (4 mature saucer magnolias were transplanted from Florida's Tidal Basin into John F. Kennedy's redesigned Rose Garden in 1962), the "Onlys" (the only president who was never married was James Buchanan), etc.
