The White House Reconstruction, also known as the Truman Reconstruction, was a comprehensive dismantling and rebuilding of the interior of the White House between 1949 and 1952. One of the more controversial changes was the Truman Balcony, a second-floor balcony overlooking the south lawn, which Truman asserted would provide shade for the lower portico and add balance to the otherwise vertical appearance created by the columns—President and First Lady Obama cited the Truman Balcony as their favorite spot in the White House.
