The construction of President Donald Trump’s luxury ballroom will proceed as planned and replace the East Wing of the White House, a divided Supreme Court ruled on Monday, the New York Times reported.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a nonprofit chartered by Congress to guard public buildings, challenged the construction of the project. It argued that longtime member Alison K. Hoagland, a District of Columbia resident and architectural historian, was personally and professionally harmed by the destruction of the White House’s East Wing, which was important to her work.
