See inside Blair House, Kamala Harris' temporary home in Washington, DC
At 60,600 square feet, Blair House is actually larger than the White House

There’s no place like a (dignitary) home.
While Number One Observatory Circle undergoes repairs, Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff have temporarily moved into Blair House — so let’s peek inside.
Last week, an aide told Fox News that new VP and her husband are staying at the president's guest house to "allow for repairs to the home that are more easily conducted with the home unoccupied." This maintenance concerned chimney liners and other household updates, the aide said.
For now, the couple is staying at Blair House, which sits across from the White House. The U.S. government bought the residence, located at 1651 Pennsylvania Avenue, in 1942 at the behest of President Franklin Roosevelt, as international diplomacy became increasingly crucial during World War II. More specifically, "Winston Churchill’s frequent trips to Washington helped convince Roosevelt of the need for official diplomatic housing," according to the Blair House's official site.
