Critics: Architecture Of President’s House Memorial Flawed

“The house’s dimensions are incorrect, the arc of a bow window is distorted, and the building’s now-infamous slave quarters are incorrectly located, the critics assert. Some historians and members of a committee charged with reviewing the memorial’s design and content say they are stunned by the vehemence of the complaints. Beyond that, they argue that the memorial … is less about architectural detail and more about the difficult story of enslavement at the heart of the new nation.”
