By 1991, the Navy, which was responsible for upkeep on the residence,
decided that Congress was never going to build a permanent
Vice-President's residence (ostensibly next door to Admiral's House) and
decided to substantially remodel and repair the house. Incoming Vice
President Al Gore, Jr. agreed to delay his move into the house by nearly 6 months to allow for the largest renovation of the house since 1974.[6]
The $1.6 million repair job replaced the heating, air conditioning and
plumbing, removed asbestos, rewired the electrical, replaced the
ventilation systems, restored the porch and upgrading the family
quarters on the second floor.
