The White House is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States, located at 1600 Pennsylvania AvenueNW in Washington, D.C. It has been the residence of every U.S. president sinceJohn Adams in 1800.
The house was designed by Irish-bornJames Hoban[2] and built between 1792 and 1800 of white-painted Aquia Creek sandstone in the Neoclassical style. When Thomas Jefferson moved into the house in 1801, he (with architectBenjamin Henry Latrobe) added lowcolonnades on each wing that concealed stables and storage.[3] In 1814, during the War of 1812, the mansion was set ablaze by the British Army in the Burning of Washington, destroying the interior and charring much of the exterior. Reconstruction began almost immediately, and President James Monroe moved into the partially reconstructed Executive Residence in October 1817. Construction continued with the addition of the semi-circular South portico in 1824 and the North portico in 1829.
