Winter White House

A "Winter White House" is typically the name given to the regular winter vacation residence of the standing President of the United States aside from Camp David, the mountain-based military camp in Frederick County, Maryland, used as a country retreat and for high-alert protection of the President and his guests.

Although Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy had spent significant time in Florida, Richard Nixon's Florida White House was the first that reporters called the "Winter White House".[10]

Current president Donald Trump uses his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida as an additional residence, describing it on Twitter as the 'Southern White House'.[11]

Western/Southern White House

President George W. Bush gives remarks on Hurricane Katrina and the Iraqi constitution from his Crawford, Texas ranch on Sunday August 28, 2005. The logo in the background was created by the Bush Administration in August 2001, and it was displayed at press briefings during Bush's stays at his ranch in Crawford. The sign reads:
THE WESTERN WHITE HOUSE
CRAWFORD, TEXAS

The Western/Southern White House is a term applied to additional residences of the President of the United States. It was used for the Crawford, Texas ranch of George W. Bush, known as Prairie Chapel Ranch, and the term has also been used by other chief executives for their homes, including Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon and Ronald Reagan.[13][14][15]

Current president Donald Trump uses his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida as an additional residence, describing it on Twitter as the 'Southern White House'.[16]

Other secondary "White Houses"

The first governmental spending on property improvements of private presidential residences was at Dwight Eisenhower's Gettysburg farm, where the Secret Service added three guard posts to a fence.[17] Federal law now allows the president to designate a residence outside of the White House as his temporary offices,[18] so that federal money can be used to provide required facilities.[19]
