This work will extend the life of the structure by securing the exterior envelope and protecting the interior from exterior elements. The Eisenhower Home is a designated National Historic Landmark. When the Eisenhower's initially purchased the property in the 1950s, they were advised to raze the 1830s building to the ground and start fresh. However, Mrs. Eisenhower wished to save as much of the original home as possible, so she implemented a new plan that saved a portion of the original structure. One section of the historic structure was retained and the Eisenhower's constructed new additions on the north and south sides along with a rear porch. The finished structure was roofed with a unique jade green slate quarried by Lucky Strike Slate in Vermont. Construction began in the spring of 1953 and was finished in the spring of 1955. The home became a respite for the Eisenhower's during their years at the White House and the place they retired to after. They hosted numerous World Leaders as well as their family and friends. After the president's heart attack, Eisenhower sought the restfulness of his Gettysburg home, spending so much time there it became known as the "Temporary White House." The National Park Service will provide technical guidance construction contract procurement and construction management.
