White House
The White House-visit the Legendary Epitome of Power and Supremacy
The White House is the official home and work place of the American president and stands out as an epitome of power and supremacy. The White House was built of white painted Aquia sandstone during the 1792-1800, its architecture resembling the late Georgian style. Since its first inauguration the white house has undergone many renovation projects and had to be resurrected after the British troops destroyed it during 1814.
The architect of the White House, James Hobban was selected by George Washington after considering many submissions. James Hobban’s design of the white house was influenced by Leinster House, a palace in Dublin, Ireland. Prior to naming it as the White House in Theodore Roosevelt’s time it was been referred to as the President’s Palace, Presidential Mansion or President’s House.
At present it is known as the White House Complex and consists of the Executive Residence, East wings and West wings. It has six stories, the ground floor, state flow, second flow, third flow and two story underground basement. The white house garden is also an impressive site and it was redesigned during the time of the Kennedy Administration, where the Rose Garden borders the West colonnade and the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden borders the East colonnade.
The North Portico was also constructed for the convenience of entering public events. Since its establishment The White House has offered tours for visitors and each year thousands flock to get a glimpse of this legendary building. Many Washington DC hotels are in close proximity giving convenient access to this prominent attraction.
