The White House
The White House, the official home of the United States’ Presidents, was not built in time for George Washington to live in it. Its construction began in 1792 and was ready for its first inhabitants, President and Mrs. Adams, in 1800.

When the Adams moved in, the White House was not yet completed, and the Adams suffered from many inconveniences. Thomas Jefferson, the third president, improved the comfort of the White House in many respects and added many new architectural features such as the terraces on the east and west ends. When British forces burnt the White House on August 24, 1814 President Madison had to leave, and it was not until 1817, that then President James Monroe was able to rebuild the residence. Each U.S. President has been occupying the White House since then.
