La Casa Pacifica (Spanish: La Casa Pacífica, meaning "The House of Peace") is a classic California beachfront mansion located in the gated community of Cottons Point Estates/Cypress Shores in the South Orange County beach town of San Clemente, California, and overlooks the Pacific Ocean from its blufftop position. This estate is also known as President Richard Nixon's Western White House, used while living and working outside of the official presidential residence, the White House in Washington, D.C.
The large Spanish-style California Mission Revival Style mansion was modeled after a country home in San Sebastian, Spain and was designed by architect Carl Lindbom. It was built in 1926 for Hamilton H. Cotton, one of the founding financiers of the city of San Clemente, and a Democratic Party backer who entertained President Franklin D. Roosevelt and other prominent Democrats as guests in his home.

Abandoned Fairchild STOL Runway
This private Short Takeoff & Landing (STOL) runwaywas evidently built at some point between 1963-67, as nothing but woods was depicted at the site on a 1963 aerial photo.
The earliest depiction of the airfield which has been located was a 1967 aerial photo by Chris Kennedy.
It depicted the STOL runway in between the Fairchild plant & Route 270.
The short runway was built adjacent to the Germantown plant of the Fairchild Defense Company.
The runway consisted of a mere 600' long asphalt strip, located in between the Fairchild office buildings & Route 270.
According to Chris Kennedy, Fairchild was license-building the Pilatus Turbo Porter in the 1960s, and they used to land one at the Germantown STOL runway occasionally.
A total of 92 Porters were built by Fairchild, which had an aircraft factory nearby in Hagerstown, MD.

New Dulles Control Tower
The original Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at Dulles opened along with the Airport in 1962. Since then, there has been tremendous growth in the number of flights and airline gates. As new runways are built, a taller, more centrally positioned tower provides views all around the Airport for the safe guidance of aircraft. The facilities inside the new tower were planned with present and future needs in mind.
The new tower is an adaptation of an FAA Standard and was designed so that it will not visually compete with Dulles' original ATCT, which is an integral element of the historically relevant design of Dulles' Main Terminal. For this reason, the original tower will not be removed or demolished.
After the structural elements of the tower were complete, the Federal Aviation Adminsitration (FAA) was reponsible for an extensive equipment fit-out process. The tower was dedicated in 2007. The ASDE-X radar system atop the tower was commissioned on April 1, 2008.
Statistics about the new Airport Traffic Control Tower
Location: About 1 mile south of the original tower
Structure: Cast-in-place concrete shaft, topped by an FAA Standard 850 square foot cab
Height: 300 feet to cab level, 325 feet at highest point
