>Caroline Lavinia Harrison was not pleased with her new living quarters.
>Although her home was now the White House, the presidential mansion was
>cramped, shabby, and overrun with rats -- hardly a building that would
>command the respect of visiting dignitaries...
>
>She therefore set about reconfiguring the place.  Caroline wanted to
>separate the family's living area from her husband's working space and
>conceived of a plan...
>
>Instead, the new First Lady had to be content with a budget that barely
>covered the expenses for housecleaning and minor repairs.  Despite her
>disappointment, Caroline did what she could.  She combated the rats by
>releasing an army of ferrets throughout the house, bought new curtains
>and furniture, renovated the kitchen, laid new floors, and installed
>private baths, electric lighting, and a new heating system....
>
>As she worked to refurbish the White House, Caroline was careful to
>inventory the contents of every room...
>
>Her legacy, however, has proved to be historically important.  The
>current architectural plan of the White House, complete with an East
>and West Wing, reflects the plan suggested by Caroline Harrison...
>identifying artifacts from previous administrations.  Her public
>support of women's rights focused greater attention on the issue and
>promoted greater acceptance of a First Lady's public political stands...
