Alt Text Map of the White House and President’s Park in Washington, DC. The White House property is four by eight city blocks. Roads and buildings surrounding the White House property are labeled, and almost all are outlined with gray. Extended Description Many of the walkways and traffic areas are tan lined with gray, though a few areas are a lighter peach color. The park areas are pale green, and the buildings indicated with gray. Constitution Avenue runs east-west to the south of the park and Pennsylvania Avenue hems it in along the north. 17th Street runs north-south to the west and 15th Street encloses the park to the east. The park area is split into roughly three parts. The smallest area is Lafayette Park at the top of the map. The larger North and South Lawns above and below the White House are in the center, and the Ellipse and sites around it are in the bottom section. This description will start with the White House before moving north to Lafayette Park and then south, through the Ellipse, to Constitution Avenue. Then the buildings and roads surrounding the park will be described in clockwise order. White House The White House itself is shaped almost like a capital letter L lying on its side. A portico projects north to face the North Lawn and Lafayette Park. Arms reach slightly forward at each end of the White House facing the South Lawn. The White House is flanked by West Executive Avenue to the west, which separates it from the Dwight D. Eisenhower Executive Office Building. To the east, East Executive Park separates the White House from the Department of the Treasury building. The Gallatin statue is on view to the north, Hamilton statue to the south, and Liberty Bell Replica to the west of this building. The South Lawn is semi-circular in shape and is flanked by the First Division Monument and Southwest gate to the west and Sherman Park with the Sherman Statue and Southeast gate to the east. The Ellipse is south of the South Lawn, which includes the landmarks Butt-Millet Foundation, Zero Milestone, and the National Christmas Tree in the northernmost section of the Ellipse. Lafayette Park To the north and across Pennsylvania Avenue, Lafayette Park has an oval walkway around the Jackson statue at the center. The Baruch Bench of Inspiration is nearby, and statues at each outer corner of Lafayette Park include Von Steuben in the northwest, Kosciuszko in the northeast, Lafayette in the southeast, and Rochambeau in the southwest. South of the White House E Street separates the South Lawn from the Ellipse. The Ellipse Visitor Center Pavillion, in the northeast corner, has information, restrooms, and refreshments. Moving clockwise around the Ellipse are the Zero Milestone and National Christmas Tree at twelve o’clock; the Boy Scout Memorial and Original Patentees Memorial at three o’clock, two Haupt Fountains at six o’clock, the Second Division Memorial at seven o’clock, and the Butt-Millet Fountain at eleven o’clock. There are two Bulfinch Gatehouses, one in each of the lower corners outside the Ellipse. Surrounding Areas North of Pennsylvania Avenue, Jackson Place separates Lafayette Park from a block of buildings to the west. Moving clockwise around the center of that block from one o’clock are the Decatur House, White House Historical Association, White House Conference Center, Blair-Lee House, Renwick Gallery, and the New Executive Office Building at nine o’clock. To the east of Lafayette Park, Madison Place separates the park from the U.S. Court of Appeals and U.S. Court of Claims and the Treasury Annex. H Street runs east-west north of Lafayette Park and the structures flanking it. From left to right, the buildings and streets north of H Street are Connecticut Avenue, 16th Street, St. John’s Church, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Vermont Avenue. Metro station symbols are next to arrows pointing north, with text reading “To Farragut West Metro station, blue, orange, and silver lines” in the top left corner along 17th Street; and “To McPherson Square Metro station, blue, orange, and silver lines” in the top right along Vermont Avenue. Now moving north to south to the east of 15th Street are New York Avenue; G Street; F Street; Pennsylvania Avenue North, which is close to the gate spanning Alexander Hamilton Place marked “Enter here for tours by reservation only”; Pershing Park; Pennsylvania Avenue South; White House Visitor Center; and Department of Commerce. The White House Visitor Center has a note reading “Enter under blue awnings” and symbols for information, restrooms, and a museum shop. A Metro station symbol near G Street with an arrow pointing east reads, "To Metro Center Metro station, blue, orange, silver, and red lines.” Another Metro station symbol near Pershing Park reads, "To Federal Triangle Metro station, blue, orange, and silver lines.” An arrow points east “To Smithsonian Institution” on Constitution Avenue in the lower right corner. South of Constitution Avenue, along the bottom edge of the map and reading from right to left to continue in a clockwise motion, two arrows south point “To Washington Monument” and “To World War II, F.D. Roosevelt, and Korean War Veterans Memorials.” The Lock Keepers House is in the lower left corner. Finally, moving south to north, buildings and streets west of 17th Street include Organization of American States, C Street, Daughters of the American Revolution, D Street, American National Red Cross, E Street, Corcoran Gallery of Art, New York Avenue, F Street, G Street, and Pennsylvania Avenue. An arrow near the Lock Keepers House points west to Lincoln and Vietnam Veterans Memorials and another arrow near New York Avenue points west-southwest to Octagon House.
