REPLICA OF WHITE HOUSE HAS BEEN SOLD
A mansion in California that resembles the White House is
officially off the market after a buyer scooped it up in late
October.
According to Compass real estate agents, the seller fetched
$23 million in the Oct. 23 sale of the massive Hillsborough
home nick named the "Western White House."
Agent Alex Buljan told FOX Business it was "one of the
priciest sales ever in Hillsborough."
The Hillsborough mansion’s approximately 2.9-acre lot
features an "impeccably laid driveway" and "verdant
greens," the listing said. Also on the estate is a pool
pavilion (below) that sits near the mansion’s backyard
pool.
The new owner will also be able to work out of a stately
office similar to the White House Oval Office.

"Dewey Defeats Truman" was an erroneous banner headline on
the front page of the early editions of the Chicago Daily Tribune
(later Chicago Tribune) on November 3, 1948, the day after
incumbent United States president Harry S. Truman won an
upset victory over his opponent, Governor Thomas E. Dewey
of New York, in the 1948 presidential election.
It was one of the greatest upsets in presidential election history
