The request to architects and builders competing to design the White House in the late 18th century asked for “a grandeur of conception, Republican simplicity, and … true elegance of proportion.” That simple phrase embodies tensions that have been debated since the building was occupied in 1800.

For architects, the wanton destruction of the East Wing, including the colonnade designed by Thomas Jefferson and the wing itself designed by McKim Mead & White (though considerably bowdlerized) is a national tragedy, even though in the scheme of today’s political horrors it is far from the worst. Of course for everyone else the White House, along with the Capitol, is the symbol of America, its image on the back of every $20 bill.
