You got it! Harry Truman stayed in the Blair House, the official government guest house acroos the street from the White House, while the White House unwent two years or more of renovations. And you are also right that it was here that the Puerto Rican Nationalists attempted to assassinate Truman.

I'll give you the third one, since it might be considered a trick answer. James Monroe also lived elsewhere, because it took a while to fix the White House after the British burned it during Madison's term.

Good job!
