Answer to trivia question:
C. A place for hanging wet laundry. The White House was still under construction when the Adamses arrived. Since there was no fence around the property to ward off undesirables, First Lady Abigail Adams felt safer drying her laundry indoors. (Secret Lives of U.S. Presidents)

“As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.”
