PUB. BY B. S. REYNOLDS CO., WASHINGTON, D. C.
WHITE HOUSE, Washington. The White House has
been the home of the Presidents from the time of John
Adams to the present. Washington selected the site, laid s
the corner-stone in 1792, and with his wife inspected the S
finished building in 1799. The building is of Virginia
freestone. After the house had been fired by British troops
in 1814, and only the walls were left standing, the re-
stored exterior was painted white to obliterate marks of
the fire.
