"Carl Anthony opens the door to the world's most famous residence to reveal life as it was actually lived there. He takes readers into the heart of loyalties and estrangements, and the emotional pressures politics brings to bear upon the forty White House families, from their arrivals to their "notices to vacate." Readers will enjoy an unprecedented tour of the previously unseen private rooms as used and decorated by each family. Revealed too are the personal proclivities of the presidents and how their families both sustained them through public crises and were used to political advantage. They'll get a firsthand look at the preparations for White House weddings and other occasions; meet the parents and children of the presidents - as well as an assortment of eccentric relatives - and discover the patterns of working, resting, and relaxing that shaped family life."--BOOK JACKET.

This richly illustrated volume tells the story of the home that has served as Ohio's executive residence since 1957, and of the nine governors and their families who have lived in the house. Our First Family's Home offers the first complete history of the residence and garden that represent Ohio to visiting dignitaries and the citizens of the state alike. Once in a state of decline, the house has been lovingly restored and improved by its residents. Development of the Ohio Heritage Garden has increased the educational potential of the house and has sparked an interest in the preservation of native plant species. Looking toward the future, the Residence is also taking the lead in promoting environmental issues such as solar power and green energy. Photographs by award-winning environmental photographer Ian Adams and botanical art by Dianne McElwain showcase the beauty of the home's architecture and the myriad of native plants that grace the three acres on which the Residence stands. Dianne McElwain is a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists in New York. Her botanical paintings have won numerous awards and are found in prestigious collections throughout the United States. Essays highlight the Jacobethan Revival architecture and the history of the home. The remaining pieces cover the garden and include an intimate tour of the Heritage Garden, which was inspired by Ohio's diverse landscape. Finally, Governor Ted Strickland and First Lady Frances Strickland discuss the increasing focus on green energy at the Governor's Residence and First Lady Emerita Hope Taft explains how native plants can help sustain the environment.
