Geocache Description:

The White House's West Wing, officially known as the Executive Office Building, houses the offices of the President of the United States. The three-storey wing contains the Oval Office, the Cabinet Room, the Situation Room, and the Roosevelt Room.


Finding the existing offices and accommodation too cramped, in 1902 President Theodore Roosevelt had the West Wing constructed. Originally intended only as a temporary office structure, President William Howard Taft expanded the wing southward in 1909, covering the tennis court and building the Oval Office. In 1929, President Herbert Hoover rebuilt the West Wing, but less than seven months later it was significantly damaged by an electrical fire, and had to be rebuilt again. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had the West Wing redesigned in 1933, adding a set of subterranean offices under the lawn, and a new Cabinet Room and Oval Office.

Today, the West Wing is probably best known as the setting of The West Wing TV series, starring Martin Sheen as the fictional President Josiah Bartlet. It has been said that the show portrays more foot traffic and larger rooms than the real West Wing.

You are looking for a small cache hidden by the footpath between Chester Road and Aston Fields Road, Whitehouse Industrial Estate, Runcorn. Bring your pencil and presidential tweezers.
