Strike!

Today in 1947, the White House Bowling Alley opened during the Truman administration.  Here are photos of the original alley, featuring two automatic lanes.

Another neat find from the archives is this photo of Walter Reed patients visiting the White House Bowling Alley in 1952.

Interested in White House architecture? The Truman Library is posting weekly photos of White House renovations here. Fascinating to see photos of a gutted White House during construction.
