Rehearsal Dinner at Blair House

This photograph showing guests toasting Tricia Nixon and Edward Cox at their wedding rehearsal dinner was taken on June 11, 1971 by Jack E. Kightlinger. The rehearsal dinner took place at Blair House. Blair House is located across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House and is known as the President's Guest House. Visiting diplomats and dignitaries stay at Blair House while on official visits to the White House, and it is where the president-elect and first family reside prior to taking the oath of office.
