Does anyone have a link to a photo of the White House that shows both the east and ....

[LAS14]

...west wing? I found a floor plan, but I can't figure out how it all looks from ground level. From the outside. (Nice replies showing great views from the inside.)

1. Take the virtual tour...

5. I did. That's a lot of unused space! Do you know how many cages for animal rescue we could fit in

There?

6. This is great, but what I'm looking for is a view of the outside that shows both wings. nt

2. Listen, if you're planning a break-in

you should probably be a little more low-key than inquiring on the DU.

3. Or at least add, "Asking for a friend" to the post. ( n/t )

[LAS14]

7. :-) Yeah... It's that part of me that never can get away from..

... the checkout counter without giving them my credit card.

4. I found some old ones. But I suspect they look very different now.

Here's one.

10. Wait! There's a pool on the grounds?

Now I know where Malaria has been hanging out all these years...poolside.

[PoliticAverse]

11. Of course, haven't you heard of the Whitehouse...

press pool?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. Yeah.

Not a bad place to live, I'm sure.

[LAS14]

13. This is really interesting. Do you know why the east and west wing don't show in...

... photographs of the outside at street level?

14. Could not really guess, other than they may be out of the frame of most pictures.

I didn't look for a Google Street view, because I suspect there is none. It's possible you can find old photos from a couple of decades or so ago that will show them. From the aerial view, there's a ton of shrubbery between those wings and the street, which is another possible reason.

15. I've been watching this for a while and shrubbery was my guess, at least for...

... the collonades. Then the actual wings are probably out of the frame, as you suggest. Especially cuz they're set so far back. For a long time I tried and tried to figure out how all those offices could fit in a building with so few (relatively speaking) windows.

[LAS14]

16. I'm really surprised at how close the west wing is to the street...

West Executive Avenue. I wonder if it's open to public traffic?

9. Is this for a 3-D printer?

Asking for a friend.

[LAS14]

17. No. Just curious about why I never see the east and west wings in street level photos. nt

18. Here's {another} tour of the inside of the West Wing.

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but it's something.

INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE
Tour the West Wing

I went on the tour one night. A coworker went to work in the Executive Office Building annex, a few blocks away from the White House. He got us signed up, and I went on the tour with my coworkers (his ex-coworkers). We got taken through the Oval Office. There were several groups going through that night, and probably every night it was given. It's not like some super duper perk.

19. Finally! CNN is showing a shot of the White House that shows both wings.
