The Berlin Wall has been down 18 years today, but America never tires of the old concrete chunks left over. Pieces grace all your finer Presidential Libraries, no matter how strained their relationship is to the Wall.
And we usually display them West side out with all the pretty graffiti.
Roosevelt: 
only link is this hideous sculpture made by a Churchill Granddaughter from Wall.
Truman: 
see where she got the semi-human shapes above? Still more Churchill relative art at Westminster College where Truman invited Churchill to let rip.
Eisenhower: none – Wall but a gleam in Walter Ulbrecht’s eye then. 
Kennedy: 
because it was built on his watch?
Johnson: sadly, no.
Nixon: 
because it existed simultaneously with his Presidency?
Ford: 
same as above, and US established diplomatic relations with DDR.
Carter: none.
Reagan: 
leapt into the future and tore down his own-self.
Plus one inside: 
Plus at the Ronald Reagan Building in DC: 
Plus one at the “Reagan Ranch” [downhill from it in Santa Barbara]: 
Bush: 
fell while in office.
Another, indoors: 
Other Americans have different ways of displaying the Wall: 
Backwards in Britain
I got mine!
The Churchill family cashing in threatens to set the United Kingdom on the path to more presidentialism: cults of personality, motorcades, and our gift to the world, the presidential library.
History News Network reports they aren’t there yet, but are plugging away.
Britain has a functioning National Archives, but that can’t stop the empire builders. The Churchill papers were bought back from the family with public money, and rest at the Cambridge college named for him. Margaret Thatcher is tagging along there, but appears to be thin on actual material.
Her archive head says “What we have here …are the private letters to Baroness Thatcher from members of Parliament, copies of official letters that she was allowed to take with her and much more.”
The Thatcher web site illustrates the redundant nature of the enterprise:
“MT’s own collection includes copies of most of the White House material relating to her meetings with successive Presidents. Gaps in her collection have been filled, in some cases, from the Carter and Reagan Library photographic collections. Bush material will be placed on line with documentary material in early 2006.”
A search in multimedia for “Reagan” gets you nothing but White House photos. There are some bugs to work out on the site itself. Even the link to the Churchill archives is a bust.
The Churchill site is more fun, including Churchill’s memorandum calling for poison gassing Bolshevik troops during the British intervention in Russia’s Civil War.
“When Gerald Ford keeled over, his funeral on cable TV would have made Winston Churchill blanch with embarrassment.”
