Should we split this article? They aren't the same building, after all. TR 23:36, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I would say we should.
We could also make it an IFiMT item. "Imitation White Houses are always gray." A piddling little affair, but no less relevant than other items on that list. Turtle Fan 00:47, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
Except in T2G its called "America's 10 Downing St" (should have been 1600 Pennsylvania to be twee) and isn't gray. It does have a meeting room called the "Blue Room" done up in green to prove that the colonials can be as eccentric as the mother country. ML4E 20:27, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
Ok, we'll say "often" not "always". TR 20:42, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Believe it or not, I got the private VIP tour of this building several years ago. I had met Waite Rawls, president of the Museum of the Confederacy (at the time, not sure whether he's still there--he was not a young man) at an event the previous evening, and when I mentioned that I was in Richmond for one night only and was leaving in the morning, he invited me to ask for him at the museum's VIP entrance before it opened to the public. Truly a lovely gentleman.

The guest book for private VIP tour takers, by the way, includes some very prominent names of the last century. I really don't belong on that list at all, but there I am. Turtle Fan (talk) 15:53, August 31, 2020 (UTC)
