The President's helpers work in the office building. But the President does his work in the White House. This is where he and his family live. A few lucky children have called the White House“home”for a while. One of President Theodoe Roosevelt's boys once took a little horse for a ride in the White House.
All of our presidents except George Washington have lived in the White House. Americans are proud of this fine building.
At first the White House was not white. It was made of gray stones and called the President's Palace. President Adams made his home there in 1800, even though the building was not yet finished. Mrs. Adams used to hang her washing in the East Room to dry! Today the white-and-gold East Room is quite different. It is used for great occasions, not for hanging up the wash!
During the war of 1812, the President's Palace was burned by British soldiers. Afterwards it was rebuilt. The walls were painted white to cover up the marks of the fire. People then began calling the building the“White House”. The name caught on and has remained in use ever since.
