Proposed merger from other lists of presidential residences

[edit]

Okay, I've been bold but I want to follow procedure and not screw up some edit/talk histories with this. It seems to me there's no good reason to have four separate articles on the Presidents' private homes and vacation homes (which are sometimes one and the same), causing a reader to have to search all over Wikipedia, so I have copied and pasted the material from Summer White House, Winter White House, and Western White House to this article already.

Of those three, the first two have nothing on the talk page except the WP:United States tag. The Western White House article has a talk history going back to 2006. All three need to be redirected to this article, which I hope there is no objection to. Please leave your thoughts below. Textorus (talk) 15:07, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: Since not a single soul has made any comments on this proposal in the three months it's been open, I've gone ahead today and merged all three articles named above into this one. I had already transferred all the info and references from those articles to this one. Now this one needs to be copyedited and smoothed out, but I don't have time for all that today.

Additions

[edit]

Some of the Presidents' houses are not listed; For example, William Howard Taft's home in Cincinnati, "The Quaryy". Zillow.com has articles on the presidents and their houses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.189.221 (talk) 15:58, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to add any missing ones you know of, with a citation to reliable sources. Textorus (talk) 16:01, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Security

[edit]

Do private residences have the same level of security as the White House or Camp David, such as 24-hour Secret Service details, armor-reinforced doors, bulletproof windows, no-fly zones and counterassault teams on standby? 74.69.9.224 (talk) 19:27, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This talk page is for discussing changes to the article. You should ask your question at the Reference Desk. Textorus (talk) 11:48, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Summer White House; Truman

[edit]

Truman's Summer White House was his family home in Independence, Missouri (his mother-in-law's house actually, at the time). The Little White House in Key West was his Winter White House. 98.10.165.90 (talk) 22:53, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Obama and Biden

[edit]

Why are their houses not mentioned and the other presidents are? Isla 🏳️‍⚧ 10:30, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are no Wikipedia articles about their homes as far as I know, so nothing to mention. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:15, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Except for the Executive Residence of the White House (see the section below). Randy Kryn (talk) 23:04, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion which may interest editors of this page, thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:04, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
