There were two different bowling alleys in the White House.
One was installed as a birthday gift to President Harry S Truman in 1947. The alley was in The West Wing on the ground floor and it was moved in 1955 to the Old Executive Office Building.
President Richard Nixon had a new one-lane bowling alley installed under the driveway leading to the North Portico in 1969.
Bowling lanes were first built in the ground floor of theWest Wing as a birthday gift for President Truman in 1947 (in the location of the present-day Situation Room); Truman didn't care for bowling himself, but allowed staff to start a league. These were moved to the Old Executive Office Building in 1955 to make way for a mimeograph room. In 1969, President and Mrs. Nixon, both avid bowlers, had a new one-lane alley built (paid for by friends) in an underground workspace area below the driveway leading to the North Portico.
The Whitehouse had two Bowling lanes until it was moved to the Old Executive Office Building. A single lane was built during Nixon's presidency and remains. There's been various improvements over the years.
The bowling lanes in the White House are NOT under the driveway.
