SUMMARY:The Best of Third Thursday - The 1929 Christmas Eve White House Fire
DESCRIPTION:6 to 7 p.m. Zoom Webinar \nSpeaker: Craig Wright\, Archivist\, Herbert Hoover Presidential Library & Museum\n \nThis ‘Best of” program originally aired in December 2020 to a large on-line audience. This year\, we welcome 20 Iowa public libraries and a new audience to learn about this tragic fire that relocated Hoover out of the Oval Office for much of his presidency. \nSmoke was noticed by a White House telephone operator who sounded the alarm.  The fire was thought to be contained when the first engines arrived.  But flames suddenly appeared in areas outside of the fire zone.  In the end\, it became a four-alarm fire with dozens of engines and ladder companies working to extinguish the inferno.  Although most of President Hoover’s important papers were saved\, the Executive offices were destroyed.  A number of miscellaneous documents littered the White House lawn in the aftermath. \nDespite the commotion\, Mrs. Hoover continued a party for the children of their good friends in the main portion of the White House which was unaffected by the fire. \nRegistration is now open. REGISTER HERE.
