Outstanding work!

I really appreciate the badge of mourning on the left shoulder of Robinson--usually you see something tied around the arm but, this seems to be a rosette sewn onto the sleeve. I've not seen one like this before. Not sure if it is personal mourning or National. (If it was personal there wouldn't be black on the sword hilt)--no sword in the picture.

Thanks for including the lady, Miss. Walton. I'm sure the ladies who re-enact will enjoy the details that 'pop' by colorization.

Great work gang!! Keep it up!

I believe it's the same as one of my earlier Sherman colorings, a sign of mourning for Lincoln. And I do hope that I didn't screw the Miss Walton one too much, the cheeks are rosy in one part only, no thorough color on her face.

It was Roosevelt's 'yellow room' that Taft took over.

So should it be yellow?

 

[bobs0651]

green is a much friendlier color, maybe he was feelin peaceful?

Taft named it the Yellow Room. It was actually the West Wing Corner office, I misnamed it.

Wasn't the Whitehouse gutted by Truman in the late 40's due to all the repairs needed. Basically just the four walls were left standing IIRC.

Quite possibly, I haven't been in step with presidents after Grant & Cleveland.

Well, I have to say that the only time the White House burned was during the War of 1812 ....

It was gutted by Truman, as he noticed when he walked he could feel the floor sway and groan. The huge timbers that held up the marble flooring and such had been stressed to the maximum and determined to fix it before there was a collapse and more serious damage or losses. Gerald Ford, Senator at the time was instrumental in passing the necessary funding of the refit of the White House but, this time--Steel beams would be used. As the White House was being repaired, he resided at Blair House across the street.

National Geographic years ago, circa Truman's Administration, if memory serves me correctly, followed the progress and the before and after pictures. Measurements, color peeled gently in layers getting down to the bare plaster, as to document the paint colors, removing and numbering, cataloged each piece of marble, every brick, every detail was recorded as to assemble the White House later. Added though was the "Truman Balcony."

I was lucky enough to take a tour of the White House. Back then, in the 1970's-1990's already, though a cop, had to secure it with the U.S. Secret Service before I took the tour, even though they knew me. I went through when it was Christmas.

Just some memories.
