Ronald Reagan Birthplace, Tampico, IL
This House to the White House is a collaboration between photographer Matthew Albritton and writer Andrew B. Leiter that consists of photographs and essays exploring the birthplaces of all of the US Presidents. The original photographs and essays explore the relationship of place and identity by connecting the locales and structures to the presidential childhoods in their cultural, historical, and biographical contexts. Each entry below showcases a small edit of images and brief summary of the presidential birthplace and childhood. A broader edit of photographs and full essays are being collected for a full-length book project which is currently in search of a publisher.
