Western/Southern White House

 

President George W. Bush speaks to the press from his Crawford, Texas ranch on Sunday August 28, 2005. The logo in the background was created by the Bush administration in August 2001, and it was displayed at press briefings during Bush's stays at his ranch in Crawford. The sign reads:

THE WESTERN WHITE HOUSE
CRAWFORD, TEXAS

The Western White House and Southern White House are terms sometimes applied to additional residences of the president, especially when those residences are very distant from the District of Columbia. Famous examples include Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, as well as George W. Bush's Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas; Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan have also used the term for their private residences (Nixon and Reagan in California, Johnson in Texas).^[14][15][16]

Other secondary "White Houses"

The first governmental spending on property improvements of private presidential residences was at Dwight Eisenhower's Gettysburg farm, where the Secret Service added three guard posts to a fence.^[17] Federal law now allows the president to designate a residence outside of the White House as his temporary offices,^[18][19] so that federal money can be used to provide required facilities.^[20]
