North Lawn (White House)

The North Lawn at the White House in 1987

The North Lawn at the White House in Washington, D.C., is bordered on the north by Pennsylvania Avenue with a wide view of the mansion, and is from the East Executive Drive and the Treasury Building, and on the west from West Executive Drive and the Old Executive Office Building. The North Lawn is sometimes described as the front lawn of the White House, since the address of the White House is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, and it faces Pennsylvania Avenue. The South Lawn is sometimes described as the back lawn of the White House.
