The scale of the West Wing, at least, is really no bigger than that of a family home. The annex that links the White House to the West Wing contains the indoor swimming pool where JFK allegedly had his trysts with Marilyn Monroe. The pool has been covered over since those days, and the annex is now used as a break room for the media encampment that is permanently lined up along the driveway to the west wing. See...
