certainly I feel that every single day, having the privilege to live in the
White House, to live in those and walk the halls of those very same rooms that
every one of our presidents lived in, except for our first, because, of
course, the White House wasn't built until John Adams was President, although
President Washington picked the site for the house -- to live with the
furnishings and the art and all of the things that belonged to different
presidents. The Shelby Street Bridge , completed in 1909, still carries traffic. Kentucky has 66 Preserve

their larger urban area but in partnership with it. Once a church, the building was converted in 1897 into

MRS. We
really, really appreciate your good work. In the President's upstairs office, the Treaty Room, he has a desk
that belonged to many, many presidents.
And really, in every single room of the White House, there are pieces of
furniture or paintings that remind us of other presidents and other
presidents' families, which then reminds us of all the challenges that our
country has faced over the years, and the way we've overcome those challenges,
and how crucial each time in our history has been as we now look at the
challenges that we face at this very important historic time in our nation, as
well.
