The article link references upgrades/replacements to the “heating, cooling, electrical and fire alarm” systems.

Renovation of the White House took place during the Truman Administration (1948-1952):

This was a major renovation, in which the 1790 White House was gutted and rebuilt from within.

WOW
$376 million

They built the new football stadium in Indy (which is a palace, though not equal to the Jerry Jones Dallas Palace) for about 700 million.
