27. Check this out! history of Mar-a-Lago

Mar-a-Lago (/ˌmɑːrəˈlɑːɡoʊ/) is a resort and national historic landmark in Palm Beach, Florida, built from 1924 to 1927 by cereal-company heiress and socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post.

At the time of her death in 1973, Post bequeathed the property to the National Park Service, hoping it could be used for state visits or as a Winter White House, but because the costs of maintaining the property exceeded the funds provided by Post, and it was difficult to secure the facility (as it is located in the flight path of Palm Beach Airport), the property was returned to the Post Foundation by an Act of Congress in 1981.[5]

As Charlie Pierce likes to say "History is so cool"

The first president to have a "summer White House" was Cleveland and it was on Cape Cod! I have a vague memory of other presidents having alternate "White Houses" located on their own property..

None of this negates the fact that #45 describing the place as the "Southern White House" cheapens the whole history of alternate "White Houses" attributed to past Presidents. (Probably it was started by the press, with Cleveland, you know )
