Concerning this section: 1902 Renovation: In 1902 President Theodore Roosevelt engaged architect Charles F. McKim of McKim, Mead, and White for a major renovation. In addition to adding a “temporary” West Wing and upgrading interior finishes, the work included adding bathrooms, removing the west stair, expanding the second floor West Sitting Hall, and expanding the State Dining Room. This involved removing a bearing wall which had supported the floor and walls above and then hanging them from the existing attic (later Third Floor) and roof structure. Many structural deficiencies were noted and partially addressed in what McKim termed a "nip and tuck".[22]
If I am not mistaken, the term "nip and tuck", relating to cosmetic surgery, did not come into existence until 1980. It most assuredly was not in use in 1902.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Fsbilly ( talk • contribs) 13:46, August 9, 2016 (UTC)
Textorus: Template:cns is not correct here, because there is a source citation. If the cited source is useful but doesn't verify everything in the paragraph, you want Template:Failed verification or Template:Failed verification span instead. If the citation is useless, just remove it (and keep the cns). See the template documentation. GA-RT-22 ( talk) 12:33, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
