Other residents, such as Barbara Bush and Tipper Gore labeled it more informally, “the house” or simply “the home,” yet one thing they all seemed to agree on was how privileged they were to call Number One Observatory Circle their home.
Dick Cheney, in Cheney, One on One, simply referred to the home as the VPR.
The Mondale Family Cookbook, which included recipes that Joan Mondale used while living at the home, referred to the home as the “Vice President’s House, Washington, DC 20501” via an illustration for all of her menus, along with calling it simply the “Vice President’s House” throughout the book. Historically, the residence has been referred to by using the name of its tenant: the Superintendent’s House, the Admiral’s House, Admiralty House, the VPR (vice president’s residence), or simply just the vice president’s home or house. It’s the residence of the vice president of the United States, but unlike the White House, which is universally known and referred to by its name, what to actually call the vice president’s home has been a question with many answers. NUMBER One Observatory Circle - with an official address of 1 Observatory Circle NW, Washington, DC 20008 - is likely the most prestigious, yet unknown address on the property of the US Naval Observatory.
