Rare Historic View of the White House at HistoricAerials.com

TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent satellite or aerial views of the White House are often intentionally blurred or distorted for security reasons. HistoricAerials.com has recently uncovered high resolution aerial photography of the White House taken in 1951. What is unique with the 1951 imagery is that it shows in detail the White House under major reconstruction.

Referred to as The Truman Reconstruction spanning 1948 through 1952, Historic Aerials.com now provides a rare glimpse of the White House during this brief period of time. Available for free viewing are aerial images taken from 1949 as well as the high resolution photo from 1951.

The 1949 photo shows the White House after the construction of the Truman Balcony and prior to the Truman Reconstruction.

The 2002 photo shows an example of how current White House photos are obfuscated; in this case the roof has been colored over.
