Chester Arthur made it grandiose to host kings. Teddy Roosevelt made it plainer (but added a dining room full of his trophy kills). Coolidge added the West Wing (which was later torn down and replaced).

Kennedy made it more posh from T.Roosevelt/Truman's choices, but still often understated. Trump bringing it back towards Chester Arthur's vision to host world leaders.
