TheTrowbridge House is a historic building located inWashington, D.C., that as of 2015[update] was renovated to serve as a presidential residence, specifically for the use of formerpresidents of the United States while visiting the capital city. It replaced thePresidential Townhouse at 716 Jackson Place as a guest residential facility for use by former presidents.[1]
Constructed in 1859 as the residence ofWilliam P. Trowbridge, Trowbridge sold the house in 1869, and in the early 20th century, it was leased by the United States government for use as office space. The government ultimately purchased the building in 1950 and over the following decades, it housed the offices of theCommission of Fine Arts and, from 1989 to 1993, The President’s Drug Advisory Council. Later, theWhite House Millennium Council,Psychological Strategy Board,Operations Coordinating Board, White House Office of Women's Initiatives and Outreach, andWhite House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.[1]
Trowbridge House abuts the back of thePresident's Guest House (Blair House) on its north side and next door to 712 Jackson Place, which houses theHarry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation, on the north.[2]
