              <text>During the 1800s the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/66"&gt;White House&lt;/a&gt; was much more accessible than it is today and informal social events were often held at the executive mansion. In this photo, a group is picnicking on the White House grounds with the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/337"&gt;Treasury Department building&lt;/a&gt; visible in the background. &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/255"&gt;Unlike today, this area has the look of a forest with many large trees&lt;/a&gt;. Before the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/206"&gt;McMillan Commission's redesign of the Mall&lt;/a&gt; in 1902 the area was a series of meandering paths, gardens, and dense trees.</text>
