  • Exterior and interior views of a one story white frame bungalow in a tropical setting. It is not the Little White House at Key West. Probably the house where the Truman’s were vacationing in Islamorada, Florida during the time Truman was interviewed by Edward R. Murrow, Feb. 1957. No persons are shown. The film came from the National Archives and was labeled “Truman Exteriors,” CBS. It came to the Truman Library with some footage showing Truman and Murrow on a fishing cruise (see MP66-33,34).
