History
Summarize
Perspective
The house was painted and converted from an abandoned structure in early 2016, operating as a support hub for the Trump campaign in both 2016 and 2020.[1] In early September 2016, Trump posted on Facebook about the house, including a picture of the structure.[1]
Friends from Pennsylvania just sent this to me! A beautiful home in the tiny town of Youngstown, PA - birthplace of golf legend, Arnold Palmer. Safe to say, they are on the #TrumpTrain! Thank you for your support!
In October 2016, a driver sued the owner of the house for distraction after being involved in a vehicle crash next to the structure.[2]
Community reaction
Residents of Westmoreland County have had generally mixed reactions to the structure. In 2016, Trump won the county by a margin of more than 30 points,[3] significantly more than any Republican presidential candidate had garnered in decades.[4] On a campaign tour of the area, Jill Biden stated that the local Trump supporters were "disillusioned" and that the Biden campaign was "not taking any vote for granted."[4] Both Biden and Trump lawn signs can be seen throughout the area.[3][4]
The house has been described as "a Mecca of sorts for the president's supporters,"[4] with hundreds of Trump supporters visiting the house each day.[3] The building's owners give out free Trump campaign merchandise.[3]

Design
The three-story house is painted on all sides with the American flag. A large sign facing the road reads "TRUMP 2020," with smaller lawn signs dotted around the property containing Trump campaign slogans.[5] A 14-foot-tall (4.3 m) steel cutout of Trump stands outside the house.[6]
