they entered under this portico, which never really works that way. the rain gets all over everyone. but it's there. so here on the left of your picture is the east room. those three first three windows. the stair hall is the next window going toward the right. and that contained the stair going upstairs to the office because lincoln's office was on the second, as all the offices were before 1902. on the left side, or east side of the second floor. and then, of course, the entrance hall with the door and the next -- the little porter's lodge, which is still used for the same thing. they call them ushers now. and then the last windows were -- two windows were for the family dining room and the last one was a pantry. so on the other side, the state rooms face, which you will see, the lincolns' living quarters were on the right-hand side of the second floor. and there were seven rooms. of course, the famous picture of lincoln taken with john hay on the right and nicolet, george nicolet on the left, they were later to write the great history of abraham li

and two windows, and he also added the portico. in fact, the portico was an essential part. it wasn't just an aesthetic element. it was an essential part of the functioning of the house, because there was no interior hallway connecting these two houses on the first floor. so james and dolley lived on the left side. his parents and their other children lived on the right side. and the way the two households called on each other was via the front doors in the shelter of the portico. now the house remained in this configuration only for about ten years, and then madison was elected president of the united states. and with that then huge salary of $25,000 a year, he embarked on another renovation and expansion campaign of his home. he added the one-story wings on either side. by the wing on this side, he create his private library. the wing on the other side he really designed as a private apartment for his mother. his father had passed away by this time. and then he added the door, designed with the help of his good friend thomas jefferson as the real centerpiece welcoming you

the restored white house sported porticos at both the north and south fronts. half the building's walls had been rebuilt. they dug out the dinner display the day the british torched the mansion in august 1814. the george washington portrait had long ago been retrieved from the maryland farmhouse where it rested in safety for several weeks after the fire and returned to dolly madison who made sure it was hung in the monroe white house. not until the last years of the madison administration had the square begun to buzz with construction. even as the white house was being repaired, the cornerstone was laid for st. john's church on the opposite edge of the common. the first episcopal service was celebrated there six months before the madison household returns to virginia. on jennings' return to washington, he counted about half a dozen homes facing the square, to one to which he attended was a colonial-style dwelling. two stories plus a cellular below. sitting on the square's northeast angle catty-corner to the church, the house was originally built for dolly's sis

all of what you see stunned, that whole top of the portico which you usually find is wood.it is not, it is all stone. it was used for nothing in lincoln's time. it was a barn. the only non picture of the east room is this one. this came from a flea market in maryland. but, you had to piece it together. the ceiling was painted and the chandeliers came in from jackson and were made into gas by polk. it was changed quickly by johnson because it was so worn out. this is where it was put in by general grant and all the parts vanished nobody knows where those light fixtures and thins s were. when lincoln died they used the plateau in france and it is rarely ever been assembled the whole way since lincoln's time. it is 13.5 feet long. they had candles on it. the dining room in lincoln's time went the long direction. this plateau was decorated with wax flowers and a part of it is still in use today. the dining room was enlarged by roosevelt. the north lawn again the statue of jefferson was placed there by polk. but he wanted a symbol to identify himself with expansion. so he put je

. >> he ran right down there and looked, and there wasn't the portico or something there, and he could feel lincoln giving the speech. >> wow. i can imagine that. >> and it was very exciting with him. one thing i forgot to mention, the thing i love most, i could hear jenna and barbara and marshall and walker, giggling, laughing, riding bikes and swimming and who knew what? and george loved that. they would swim and come in -- and neil's children. but they lived in washington. jenna and barbara, they all came to visit. it was so cute. in your own house and your grandchildren come, you work. when they come to the white house, there are 90-some people who will take care of them. >> when did you think of restoring the lincoln room? speaking of lincoln. i was able to see that, and you just did an amazing job. >> really, do you think of presidents the whole time you are there, and there is great comfort in that. you think of all of the other challenges that other presidents faced and our countries faced and how we overcame that challenge. it was very comforting after september 11th to know w

that whole top of the portico. what you usually find is wood. but it's not. it's all stone. and the attic was used for nothing in lincoln's time. i mean, it was a barn of a house. the only known picture of the east room as lincoln knew it is this one. this came from a flea market in elicott city, maryland. but you had to piece it together. the ceiling was painted in franklin pierce's time. the chandeliers came in under andrew jackson and were made into gas by polk in 1847. and the furniture is all from various times. the mantelpiece is from franklin pierce. but it was changed very quickly by andrew johnson because it was so worn out. and this is the lincoln east room. this is where it was as -- more or less as finished by andrew jackson in 1829-30. it was completely remodeled by general grant. and all the parts in '73 for his daughter's wedding. and all the ports vanished. nobody knows where those light fixtures and things were. but some of the furniture has surfaced and is back at the white house. when lincoln dined in the state dining room they used the plateau which james

the pillars would go up to roofs with wood and covered porticoes, where children would be sitting and playing a game like parchesi. you would see dogs walking around, food being cooked, baskets in corners, stacks of grain. this would have been the center of life in the compound. and you have to remember that this would be repeated 2,000 times in other apartment compounds throughout teotihuacan. keach: in many ways, teotihuacan was a dramatic step forward in the evolution of ever more complex societies. it was the beginning of a cosmopolitan, urban way of life. the city's fame became a magnet, drawing immigrants from throughout mesoamerica. excavations in one of the compounds is now revealing that the people who once lived here were traders and merchants from other cities. michael spence is directing the excavation. he has just found some pottery in one of the ruins. spence: it's painted here. you can see that there's red paint over most of the interior except up along the rim. there's a little bit up there, too. it's going to be very delicate, very fragile. and i'll try and reassemble

i must say here of the south portico of the white house. there is president obama.up. this right here cyprian, that's tony stewart standing right outside in front with the president and all of the other drivers in the background. there was a black car to the left and the red car. they were both his it cars. >> number 14 car. >>nu 14 car. >> did they start the engines? did obama get in? >> he wanted to drive. i know. >> gentlemen, start your engines. >> no, they did not. but the president saluted tony stewart from coming from behind and winning this thing. >> this was tony's year. he gave us one of the most dramatic finishes after barely making the chase, tony took off winning an amazing four races in post-season and came the final race in miami, a must-win. tony went all out, twice he came from back of the pack passing 118 cars, sometimes three wide. tony said it felt like he passed half the state of florida. but in the end, he hung on to take the checkered flag and win the championship with a tie-breaker. >> i was hoping obama would hop in the car and drive it arou
