The days of leaning on the black barred fencing for a photo of the White House in the background are ending, with a massive "anti-climb" wall being built around the South Lawn.
Plans for a new perimeter with an "anti-climb" component have been in the works since July 2016, according to the White House history website.
However, several changes have been made to the area surrounding the White House following nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd, with various structures put in place to cordon off protesters.
A new photo of the wall went viral on Sunday, after Politico reporter Rebecca Rainey tweeted out a shot showing how much farther away pedestrians now have to remain from the edge of the South Lawn.
Rainey also took a shot from the north side, where Lafayette Square is now closed off via a variety of obstacles.
It remains unclear which aspects of the new wall stem from the Obama-era plan to reinforce the perimeter and which are directly in response to the protests.
The White House declined to comment on the record to Insider, while the National Parks Service — which oversees the federal property surrounding the White House — did not return a request for comment.
A new perimeter was decided upon in the summer of 2016 following the 2014 White House intrusion, when a man was able to climb over the north fence and make it to the front door with a knife before being stopped by an off-duty security officer.
This is what the White House fence situation has looked like over the years:
