Description

Not exactly the right address, since it's in California, but still....

Reagan biographer and Washington Post correspondent Lou Cannon insists that the 40th president never called Rancho del Cielo the Western White House. That's what the media dubbed it. Reagan once told Cannon, "There's only one White House, and that's in Washington, D.C." [Reagan quoted in Peter Hannaford, Ronald Reagan and His Ranch (Bennington, VT: Images from the Past, 2002), p. xi.]
