Lafayette Park
In this photograph from May 1962, a photographer, possibly George F. Mobley of the National Geographic Service, ascends the ladder of a firetruck parked on Pennsylvania Avenue to capture an aerial view of the White House. The photo session was for the cover of the fourth edition of "The White House: An Historic Guide" a publication released by the White House Historical Association that serves a companion book for tours of the White House, providing history of the rooms, architecture, and furniture. This photograph was taken from Lafayette Square, just north of the White House.
This color photograph by Jack E. Boucher was taken from inside the White House through the window above the north entrance. The fountain on the North Lawn and Lafayette Square can both be seen through the North Portico columns. Boucher served as chief photographer for the National Park Service's Historic American Buildings Survey. He spent four decades documenting hundreds of historic buildings, including the White House.
