Template:Infobox Historic building The White House is the home and main workplace of the President of the United States. The house was designed by Irish-born James Hoban.[1] It is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C.. The building was built between 1792 and 1800 of white-painted Aquia sandstone in the Neoclassical style. It has been the home of every U.S. President since John Adams. When Thomas Jefferson moved into the house in 1801, he (with architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe) expanded the building outward. They made two colonnades that were meant to hide stables and storage.[2] In 1814, during the War of 1812, the mansion was set on fire by the British Army in the Burning of Washington. The fire destroyed the inside of the house and charred much of the outside. Reconstruction began almost immediately. President James Monroe moved into the partially reconstructed house in October 1817. Construction continued with the addition of the South Portico in 1824 and the North in 1829. Because of crowding within the executive mansion itself, President Theodore Roosevelt had all work offices moved to the newly constructed West Wing in 1901. Eight years later, President William Howard Taft expanded the West Wing and created the first Oval Office. This was eventually moved as the section was expanded. The third-floor attic was changed into living quarters in 1927. A newly built East Wing was used as a reception area for social events. Jefferson's colonnades connected the new wings. East Wing changes were completed in 1946. These changes made more office space. By 1948, the house's load-bearing exterior walls and internal wood beams were found to be close to failure. Under Harry S. Truman, the interior rooms were completely taken apart and a new internal load-bearing steel frame was built inside the walls. Once this work was done, the interior rooms were rebuilt. Today, the White House Complex includes the Executive Residence, West Wing, Cabinet Room, Roosevelt Room, East Wing, and the Old Executive Office Building, which houses the executive offices of the President and Vice President. The White House is made up of six stories—the Ground Floor, State Floor, Second Floor, and Third Floor, as well as a two-story basement. The term White House is regularly used as a metonym for the Executive Office of the President of the United States and for the president's administration and advisers in general. The property is owned by the National Park Service and is part of the President's Park. In 2007, it was ranked second on the American Institute of Architects list of "America's Favorite Architecture." Category:Buildings and structures in Washington, D.C.

Bijela kuća (eng. The White House) naziv je službene rezidencije Predsjednika SAD-a u Washingtonu. Nalazi se na adresi 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington. Imanje je u vlasništvu službe nacionalnih parkova SAD-a, National Park Servicea, i dio je President's Parka (Predsjedničkog parka). Plan Bijele kuće iz 1807. Bijelu je kuću projektirao irski arhitekt James Hoban.[1] Izgrađena je na lokaciji koju su odabrali prvi američki predsjednik George Washington i gradski planer Pierre L'Enfant, u razdoblju od 1792. do 1800., nakon čega je još nekoliko puta nadograđivana.[1] Predsjednik John Adams uselio je u Bijelu kuću 1. studenog 1800. godine. Svi su američki predsjednici nakon njega stanovali u kući tijekom trajanja svojeg mandata. Bijela kuća je jedina predsjednička rezidencija u svijetu koja je otvorena za posjetitelje. Ulaz je besplatan.[1] U zgradi su 132 sobe, 35 kupaonica i 6 katova, kao i 412 vrata, 147 prozora, 28 ognjišta, 8 stubišta te 3 dizala.[1] Kroz povijest je Bijela kuća nosila nazive "Predsjednička palača", "Predsjednička kuća" te "Izvršni dvorac" (Executive Mansion). Odlukom predsjednika Theodorea Roosevelta od 1901. nosi današnje ime. U javnosti se isti naziv koristi i za najuži krug državnih službenika oko Predsjednika.
