White House Ballroom Reaches Final-Steel-Beam Milestone

The White House has released official photographs of President Donald Trump marking the placement of the final steel beam for the White House ballroom project.

The photographs show Trump with construction workers and officials at the construction site on Wednesday, November 4. The White House gallery describes the event as remarks alongside the last piece of steel used in the ballroom's construction.

The image featured here is an official White House photograph by Andrea Hanks from that event. It is dated November 4, rather than the day the photographs were recirculated on social media.

Placement of the final steel beam is a construction milestone. The gallery does not say that the ballroom is finished or open for use.
