George W. Bush Childhood Home

The Project

The Bush Childhood Home at 1412 W. Ohio Avenue is currently 1,655 square feet and largely unchanged since 1956. As Phase I of the Project, the Home’s architectural details will be restored to the 1952 to late 1955 period when the Bush Family lived on Ohio Avenue. This small home will be fully interpreted, leaving no space for offices, exhibits, ticketing, a classroom for school tours, a gift shop or an orientation theater. The Project will address this limitation in Phase II by acquiring two other neighborhood homes, by developing and George W. Bush Childhood Home, Sketching sharing the parking lot of the neighborhood church, and by designing a new 4,000 square foot Visitors Center and Exhibit Gallery. The site will be landscaped to retain a sense of neighborhood, while incorporating wayfinding signage and pathways.
