Article: Who is Trump's White House architect James McCrery? [View all]
After an announcement last Thursday that US president Donald Trump will build a 650-person banquet hall on the east side of the White House complex, we take a closer look at James McCrery, the architect behind the design.
McCrery's eponymous studio, McCrery Architects, has been selected to design the 90,000-square-foot ballroom addition, which will replace the White House's East Wing and expand the building's hosting capabilities.

The architect was seen surveying the roof of the White House with Trump on Tuesday morning ahead of the renovation of the early 19th-century neoclassical structure, set to be the most intensive since the 1950s.
