Vice President Kamala Harris officially moved into her residence at the Naval Observatory Tuesday night, according to NBC News.
Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff were living temporarily in Blair House, the president’s guest quarters, while the Naval Observatory underwent renovations.
The project had been expected to take only a few weeks, but it stretched out over two months. The repairs included maintenance on the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, replacing chimney liners and refurbishing some of the hardwood floors in the 19th century Victorian house, Symone Sanders, senior adviser and chief spokesperson for the vice president, said.
Officials said it would be easier to do the work while the house was unoccupied after former Vice President Mike Pence and his wife moved out.
