Blair House

Blair House

Blair House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on Oct 15, 1966, and named a National Historic Landmark on Oct 29, 1937. It is significant for its politics at the national level.

Blair House, also known as The President's Guest House, is an official residence in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. The President's Guest House has been called "the world's most exclusive hotel" because it is primarily used as a state guest house to host visiting dignitaries and other guests of the president. Parts of the historic complex have been used for an official residence since the 1940s.
