- Others came from workers’ families who lived in small cabins or on farms.
- President Abraham Lincoln was born in a log hut in a room on the Kentucky border.
Some trips from the presidents in Washington began in houses, cottages or surprisingly humble log cabins.
With six levels, 132 rooms and 35 bathrooms, the White House was not surprisingly a shocking transition for some presidents. Harry S. Truman, for example, called the White House as a “glamorous prison”, while Joe Biden compared him to a “golden cage”.
“I don’t all know about you, but I was raised in a way that you didn’t look for anyone to expect,” said Biden president at a CNN town hall in February 2021 , reported ABC News. “And this is where I find myself extremely embarrassed for the wonderful people who work in the White House.”
