This is The White House, also known as the “President’s Mansion”. It’s a symbol of democracy, leadership, and unity. This mansion is shown as neoclassical architecture. It features simple geometric forms including Greek and Roman columns and blank walls.

 

In 1792, The White House was designed by an Irish-born architect James Hoban. When George Washington became America's first president (1789-1797), Washington never lived in the White House throughout his presidency. In 1800, John Adams and his wife Abigail Adams moved into an unfinished mansion. During the War of 1812, The British troops burned the White House and left it in scraps. When James Monroe presided at the White House, the entire restoration was still ongoing.

 

In 1902, during Theodore Roosevelt’s term, the presidential offices were moved from the second floor to the West Wing. The White House remains as the most popular historic site in Washington D.C. Over 10,000 visitors come to visit the White House each week.

 

Today, The White House still represents as a symbol of American democracy and the complex relationship between the government and the American people.
