US Vice-President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff have temporarily moved to the historic Blair House as their official residence is undergoing repairs, a spokesperson said, reported PTI.

Blair House is the official guest house of the US President across the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue.

The official home of the vice-president, where Harris will move once the renovation is done, is located within the Naval Observatory Complex and is about four miles northwest of the White House.

The vice-president’s chief spokesperson, Symone Sanders, told media on Saturday that Harris moved in on Thursday.

“They are living there while repairs are done at the vice-president’s residence at the Naval Observatory,” Sanders said.

Crews are working on new liners for the chimneys and other tasks in the 33-room mansion, which was built in 1893, reported The Washington Post.

Blair House, which was built as a private house in 1824, became the guest house of the US President in 1942, where visiting foreign dignitaries normally stay.

In recent years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other Indian leaders have stayed in this historic building that has 120 antique-filled rooms.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden spend the night before their inauguration at this historic residence.
