		For better or worse, the neo-classical White House of the Confederacy, with its stoic, white-stucco street front and its colossal Doric columns overlooking the rear garden, is the essence of Richmond.
		The White House — like the nearby Valentine Richmond History Center and John Marshall House — is a humanistic and aesthetic reminder that a city’s past structures are an essential part of the urban fabric, not a luxury.

		The White House of the Confederacy was obviously the hallmark of the Confederacy, and for that reason it's ornamentation is extremely lavish.
		All in all the house is a projected image of the wealth of the Confederacy in the 19th century, and it has been restored for that purpose.
		Interestingly enough the White House of the Confederacy is not that different than the Wickham house which proves that Jefferson Davis wanted to project the image that he and the Confederacy were strong enough to stand-alone and really he was putting up a false front.

		For the White House of the Confederacy, there is also the nearly certain elimination of its venerable National Historic Landmark status, the threat of removal from the National Register of Historic Places, rendering the diminished historic resource ineligible for many preservation incentive programs such as rehabilitation tax credits and Save America's Treasures grants.

		Cutting the White House loose from its historic location and carting it off to what appears to be a more hospitable location, are disservices to the history of Richmond, the history of Virginia, and the history of the Civil War.
