The White House, an architectural marvel etched in the annals of American history, serves as the official residence and work hub of the President of the United States. Nestled elegantly at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., its stunning neoclassical design can be credited to the Irish-born architect James Hoban, embracing concepts inherited from the great Roman and Venetian architects, Vitruvius and Andrea Palladio.

Constructed using Aquia Creek sandstone painted white, its build was a colossal endeavour, spanning eight years from 1792 to 1800. The labour force was a diverse mix of enslaved and free African-American workers as well as European immigrants. Despite falling victim to the torch of British forces during the War of 1812, this resilient symbol of power rose from the ashes, fully refurbished by 1829.

This stately abode was later expanded by President William Howard Taft who added the renowned West Wing, including the universally recognisable Oval office. Comprising six stories, the White House complex now includes the Executive Residence, the East Wing, and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Its status elevated to that of a National Heritage Site, it acts as a testament to America's rich history and political evolution.
