White House Redo Completed
In late 2007 a white temporary building was constructed on West Drive between
the White House West Wing and the Executive Office Building. Its purpose
was never publicly identified. Cryptome posted an
eyeball
of it.
In late 2010 construction was begun on an underground structure north of
the West Wing. It was reported to be for utility upgrades.
Photos from October 2012 recently published by Google Earth now show both
the utility project completed and the white building removed, along with
new landscaping of the two areas. Trees were removed adjoining the Situation
Room along West Drive. At least three new areaways for light and air are
shown, two of them in the vicinity of the removed white building. What
underground spaces these areaways serve is unknown. Information welcome:
