Blair House: The President's Guest House


Last night the Obama's spent the night at Blair House, across the street from the White House. It's all part of the tradition, protocol and hospitality associated with the Blair House, which for decades has provided a backdrop for diplomacy and the orderly transfer of power.

Every incoming president since Carter, has stayed at the Blair House before inauguration, but it is also used for visiting dignitaries and was decorated to feel more like a house instead of a hotel.

If you would like to learn more about this beautiful but rarely seen home, then be sure to tune into C-SPAN this Saturday at 7pm.
