Inside the White House Grounds: Patios, Porches, Porticoes & Other Outdoor Living Spaces

Pergolas typically support vines, which provide a shady roof that's often sweet-scented and always beautiful to look at. In continuing the architectural style of the White House, the pergola in the East Garden has white columns. The white wrought-iron setees are designed in the Rococo style, like many of the other outdoor pieces throughout the White House grounds.
