The White House.

It is a moot question in Washington whether the Capitol or the White House holds first interest. As the residence of the President, perhaps the White House has the edge. Every President except Washington lived there.

The Executive Manshion, as it was originally known is the oldest public structure in the city. The cornerstone was laid on October 13, 1792, on the 300^th anniversary of Columbus’s landing at San Salvador. It was in the same year that James Hoban, an Irish American, won a prize of 500 dollars offered for the best design of the “President’s House”, according to L’Enfant’s designation.

The home of the president of the United States gets its name from its white walls. But the White House wasn’t always white; its original colour was grey. During the war of 1812-1814 the British burned most of the public buildings in Washington, including the President’s Palace. Its walls were still standing, but the sand stone was so streaked with water and smoke that it seemed best to paint it white to cover the scars of a fire. That done, it began to be called the “white house”. It has been white ever since. During the administration of Theodore Roosevelt “White House” appeared on the President’s stationery and the term became official.

Thousands of Americans flock to visit President’s home and office. There are admitted to see the Green Room; the Blue Room, where ambassadors and ministers of foreign countries are received; the State Dining Room and the East Room, use for public receptions. The Oval Office – the President’s Office – is in the west of the White House.
