Lorenzo Winslow, the White House architect in the 1930s, designed and oversaw the construction of the East Wing and the bunker, as well as other features of the modern-day White House, including the balcony and major interior reconstruction during Harry Truman’s presidency.

The entirety of the East Wing of the White House will be demolished within days, two Trump administration officials have said.

Trump says the project will be paid for with private donations and that no public money will be spent on the ballroom.
