The White House is undergoing standard restoration work on its columns, specifically stone repair in the North Portico area. Scaffolding and a tarp have been installed around the North Portico as part of this effort.
An official told Hearst Television that the work is maintenance on one of the most recognizable parts of the building, and not for a new structure. This restoration is taking place alongside other visible changes around the White House, including construction on a new ballroom and a helipad on the South Lawn.
