Dear Yahoo!:
Where does the vice president live?
Elena
Charlotte, North Carolina
Dear Elena:
Contrary to popular belief, Vice President Cheney needn't crash on a White House couch every night. He's got a home of his own, and it's a nice one.

The house, a white, brick-walled, Victorian-style home with 9,150 square feet of floor space, is located on the corner of 34th Street and Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C. It's on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory and was originally built for the superintendent of the observatory in 1839.

The house became the official residence of the Chief of the Naval Observatory in 1928 (for this reason, it's still referred to as the "Admiral's House"). In 1974, Congress designated the house the official temporary residence for vice presidents. Before the decree, the vice president lived in temporary houses and hotels.

In 1977, Vice President Walter Mondale, under President Jimmy Carter, was the first to occupy the house. For another glimpse of the V.P.'s headquarters, described as "solid, sensible, and pleasant," check out this photo taken by former resident Tipper Gore.

It was electric, so frighteningly hectic.
