Presidential Townhouse

The Presidential Townhouse is a U.S. government-owned building managed by the General Services Administration. It is located at 716 Jackson Place NW in Washington, D.C., on the western side of Lafayette Square. For ease of providing security, it was reserved for the exclusive use of former presidents of the United States during visits to the capital from 1969 to 2015, when that function was moved to Trowbridge House. Located across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, it adjoins several other government-owned townhouses used for official purposes, including Blair House, often used by visiting heads of state, and is now used by the Executive Office of the President.
