White House - Green Room Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Bazonka: Sadly, this cache is for the archive bin.
To be fair, it was a bit of an audacious hide, and alas, a missing container and no leaves on the trees mean that it's going to be hard to replace as it was.
I may place a new, more conventional, cache somewhere nearby to replace it, but that will a new listing so as not to affect the stats of those cachers who bravely managed to find this rare Large Letterbox.

Geocache Description:

The Green Room is one of three state parlours on the first floor in the White House. It is used for small receptions and teas. During a state dinner, guests are served cocktails in the three state parlours before the president, first lady, and visiting head of state descend the Grand Staircase for dinner. The room is traditionally decorated in shades of green.

The room was intended by architect James Hoban to be the "Common Dining Room." Thomas Jefferson did use it as a dining room and covered the floor with a green-coloured canvas for protection. It was in the Green Room that William Wallace Lincoln, the third son of President Abraham Lincoln, was embalmed following his death, most likely from typhoid fever. Over the years, presidents and first ladies have used the room for happier times as well. Grace Goodhue Coolidge displayed what some considered risqué Art Deco sculpture here and used the room for small parties with friends. Eleanor Roosevelt entertained Amelia Earhart here, and President Kennedy thought it the most attractive and restful room on the state floor.

This presidential-sized cache is located on the busway in the Whitehouse Industrial Estate, Runcorn.
