Harry S. Truman
November 1, 1950: In Washington, D.C., Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola ambushed the Blair House where Truman was residing temporarily while the White House was undergoing major renovations. Torresola was killed by guards, and Collazo was wounded. Collazo was found guilty of murder, assault, and attempted assassination of the president. He was sentenced to death. Truman reduced the sentence to life in prison. President Jimmy Carter freed Collazo in 1979.
~~~ or ~~~
Ronald Reagan
March 30, 1981: John Hinckley, Jr. fired six shots from a .22 caliber handgun at Reagan in Washington, D.C. One bullet ruptured Reagan's lung and lodged close to his heart. Another bullet entered the brain of press secretary James Brady. A policeman and a Secret Service agent were also critically wounded.[2] Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity. He remains in St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington D.C.. Reagan was the first sitting president to survive an assassin's bullet, and the fifth sitting president overall to be shot.

Are the only two I could find that the attempts were in Washington DC at a place other than the Whit House..............

Answer 3
