only demolished in 2021, and came tumbling down to the excitement of many locals who even paid to watch the eyesore finally removed in a chapter they called \u2018historic\u2019 for the New Jersey city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Now as the 47th president of the United States, Trump has made some major changes to the White House with more construction plans on the way to expand the\u00a0East Wing with a $200 million ballroom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">One such notable makeover has been his changes to the infamous\u00a0White House\u00a0Rose Garden lawn which borders the Oval Office and the West Wing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The history of the garden dates back to at least 1902, when President Theodore Roosevelt and First Lady Edith Roosevelt established a \u2018proper colonial garden.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The lawn was given its formal name just over a decade later by First Lady Ellen Louise Axson Wilson, wife of then President Woodrow Wilson, while Franklin D. Roosevelt commissioned a redesign in 1935.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div class=\"article-image_imageWrapper__ANtPE\">\n<div class=\"resizable-image_wrapper__LRQlr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU resizable-image_lowRes__5OkaL resizable-image_fadeOut___ZcLy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltd6390d9abbd0d9a8\/688f4641a0d94bd433457ca6\/garden.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 33vw, (max-width: 768px) 50vw, (max-width: 1024px) 50vw, 33vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=256&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltd6390d9abbd0d9a8\/688f4641a0d94bd433457ca6\/garden.jpg 256w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=384&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltd6390d9abbd0d9a8\/688f4641a0d94bd433457ca6\/garden.jpg 384w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=640&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltd6390d9abbd0d9a8\/688f4641a0d94bd433457ca6\/garden.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=750&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltd6390d9abbd0d9a8\/688f4641a0d94bd433457ca6\/garden.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=828&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltd6390d9abbd0d9a8\/688f4641a0d94bd433457ca6\/garden.jpg 828w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1080&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltd6390d9abbd0d9a8\/688f4641a0d94bd433457ca6\/garden.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1200&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltd6390d9abbd0d9a8\/688f4641a0d94bd433457ca6\/garden.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1920&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltd6390d9abbd0d9a8\/688f4641a0d94bd433457ca6\/garden.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=2048&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltd6390d9abbd0d9a8\/688f4641a0d94bd433457ca6\/garden.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltd6390d9abbd0d9a8\/688f4641a0d94bd433457ca6\/garden.jpg 3840w\" alt=\"The garden snapped in 2021 (Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" data-nimg=\"fill\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><cite class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\">The garden snapped in 2021 (Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images)<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Fast forward to 1961, President John F.
