WASHINGTON โ The White House this week added a large George Washington statue to the Rose Garden at the specific request of President Donald Trump, according to a federal official and one White House official.
The bronze statue, which belongs to the National Park Service, was moved from the Washington Monument to its new location during the government shutdown.
The 1992 statue is a reproduction made from a cast of the original white marble statue that resides in the Virginia State Capitol, according to the White House official. The original marble statue was made by French artist Jean-Antoine Houdon and is believed to be the only one of Washington done from a life mask.
