10:35Now PlayingIn what marked the first time a president ordered major construction in nearly eight decades, work crews began work and demolished the facade of the East Wing of the White House on Monday, Oct. 20.
The construction is part of President Donald Trump's plan to build a ballroom on the eastern side of the White House. Who is paying for the new White House ballroom? Trump has said he will pay for it with his own money and private donations. It is projected to cost $250 million.
Trump said during an event in the East Room on Oct. 20 that the ballroom construction work began earlier in the day.
