Default White House of Confederacy to close for 2 months

Confederate White House closing for repairs

From NBC12 News

The White House of the Confederacy will soon close for two months while crews work on restoring the museum in downtown Richmond. The executive mansion of Confederacy President Jefferson Davis will be closed in January and February.
During that time, the museum will get new carpets, draperies and a new fire-suppression system. The museum will reopen for daily tours in March.

For a fire suppression system, two months closure is worth it. Fire remains the #1 threat to cultural property.
