History

Prior Residences

Before the use of 777 Cupboard Place by President Ehresman, the United States of Quentin did not have an official residence for the President. Many sites were used before Cupboard Place, however most of them were in Mechanicsburg. For a time, President George Firedawn resided in the Capitol Building, and also stayed at a personal residence. President Sam Logan rejected staying at the Capitol, due to increasing tensions with Congress, and chose to reside at what is today the Jefferson Diversiton Building, which was built one year before his term. Finally, both Franklin Moise and Jonathan Redall actually resided most of the time at Quentinian Diplomatic House, the residence of GTNEC Max Wagner, as executive cooperation was necessary and Wagner was seen as an experienced politician and statesman. Although these places were all used during the time before Olivia Ehresman, none was ever made official, and even when a President spent most of their time at a location, it was regular for them to move around.
