President Joe Biden recently took time to inspect the landscaping of his Wilmington, Delaware home, a place that holds a special significance for him. During a meeting with special prosecutor Robert Hur regarding classified documents from his vice presidency, Biden confessed his passion for architecture, revealing that he is a 'frustrated architect.' He even considered redesigning elements of his home post-presidency.
The controversy surrounding Biden's handling of classified information has put his home under scrutiny. FBI agents and legal teams found 28 items with classified information or markings from his vice presidency. Despite this, Hur concluded there was insufficient evidence to charge Biden with willfully retaining classified information.
The president's home underwent extensive renovations for security purposes, including new fencing, vehicle barriers, and bulletproof windows. Satellite imagery showed significant modifications to the property, with construction crews dismantling parts of the house.
Biden's Wilmington residence, often referred to as the 'lake house,' has been a central location in his life since 1998. It served as a campaign headquarters during the 2020 presidential race and remains a weekend retreat for the president.
Biden's attachment to Wilmington stems from his interactions with the community, which influence his policy decisions. The president's frustration with the renovation process was evident, as he joked about the FBI knowing his house better than he does.
The president's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the design and furnishing of his home. Biden personally worked on the house, involving his family in the process. The wood-paneled library, filled with sentimental items and personal notebooks, stands out as a point of pride for the president.
Despite the challenges posed by the renovations, Biden remains connected to his Wilmington home, where he finds solace and inspiration for his work in Washington. The president's passion for architecture and design shines through in his personal touches throughout the property.
