The White House has had maintenance issues over time. In 1948 a leg of Margaret Truman's piano crashed through the floor of her sitting room. (I doubt she pounded the ivories as vigorously as Meade Lux Lewis Mead Lux Lewis plays "Honky Tonk Train Blues" - YouTube or Jerry Lee Lewis Jerry Lee Lewis - Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On (Steve Allen Show - 1957) - YouTube.) Turned out the whole place was about to cave in. They rebuilt the inside leaving the outside walls as original as possible. White House Reconstruction - Wikipedia
