The Many Bathrooms of President Truman

In addition to the 35 bathrooms in the White House, President Truman also had a couple in other locations. Below are some photos from the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum.

Historic White House Bathroom Renovation

Remodeling a bathroom can be a daunting task. However, it is a lot more difficult when you live in the White House and have to remodel 35 of them!

I came across several photographs from the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum. The photos were taken between 1950 and 1952, while the bathrooms in the White House were being reconstructed. Take a look at the before and after shots of various White Housae bathrooms below.
