The White House

Source: An Executive Mansion Official

The White House is located on the south side of Pennsylvania Avenue between the Treasury and the State Department Buildings. The buildings and grounds cover an area of about 16 acres. The buildings consist of the mansion, the east and west terraces, and the Executive Office.

The main building is about 170 feet long by 85 feet wide. It has four floors. The east and west terraces are one-story structures. The east terrace is about 35 feet wide and 215 feet long extending on the east side of the main building. It is used as an entrance and cloak room for large receptions. The west terrace is about 35 feet wide and 165 feet long extending from the west side of the building. It contains the President's swimming pool and a few small offices for members of the household staff. The Executive Office is a three-story structure about 140 feet long by 100 feet wide at the west end of the west terrace. It was not part of the original design but was added in 1902 to accommodate the office force of the President. In May, 1937. an electric alarm system whereby any of the President's secretaries could call an armed guard at an instant's notice was installed in the Executive Office. The design of the White House proper and the terraces is said to have been suggested by that of the Duke of Leinster's palace in Dublin. It is of the classic style of architecture, and has been much admired by architects. The exterior walls of the building are constructed of light gray sandstone from quarries on Aquia Creek, Virginia, and were painted white in the course of the reconstruction after the fire in 1815.

The White House was the first public building erected in Washington, the corner-stone having been laid on October 13, 1792, in the presence of a distinguished company of citizens and officials. which did not, however, include President Washington. The site was selected by Major L'Enfant. the French engineer who prepared the plan for the city, and was approved by Washington. The architect was James Hoban, a native of Ireland who had resided for some years in Charleston, South Carolina. Hoban superintended the original construction, the reconstruction after the burning by the British, and the later construction of the south and north porticos.

The White House was first occupied by President and Mrs. John Adams in November, 1800, although some of the interior construction, notably the finish of the East Room, had not been completed at that time. The east and west terraces were constructed during Jefferson's administration.

On August 24, 1814. the building was burned by the British forces which had captured Washington, the fire destroying the interior and part of the walls. The work of reconstruction was commenced in the spring of 1815, and President Monroe moved in during December, 1817. The south portico was completed in 1824, and the north portico in 1829.

In 1869 the east terrace was entirely removed, but no other important structural changes were made until 1902. except greenhouses on the west terrace.

On both the east and west sides of the room are two mantels of colored marble, with mirrors over them. The room is lighted by three crystal chandeliers, and by four bronze standards bearing electric lights, which are placed at the four corners of the room. The window draperies are of heavy crimson silk damask. The floor is oak.

The Green Room-The wall covering and curtains in this room are of green silk damask. The white marble mantel, together with that in the Red Room, was originally in the State Dining Room, having been purchased in England when the White House was reconstructed after the fire in 1814.

The wall covering above the white enameled wainscoting is of heavy corded blue silk, and the curtains are of the same material. The mantel is of white marble, and the floor is of oak.

The main street of the city, Duke of Gloucester Street (which extends seven-eighths of a mile from the grounds of the College of William & Mary to the reconstructed colonial Capitol) and the greens and square bordering this historic thoroughfare comprise the area of restoration. The restored area includes the original grounds of the college, which, next to Harvard is the oldest in the country; also the Court House Green, Market Square, Palace Green and Capitol Square.

In recreating the colonial capital, 572 buildings of modern construction have been razed, 77 colonial buildings have been repaired or restored, 188 have been reconstructed, 39 buildings designed for commercial uses have been erected and more than two-score of old gardens have been restored or reconstructed.

Among the important exhibition buildings of the Restoration which are open to the public are: The Governor's Palace, with its rare collection of antique furniture and furnishings and its extensive eighteenth century English type gardens; the Capitol, a duplicate of the original structure erected in 1699-1705, which was the scene of dramatic legislative struggles preceding the Ameri

prison erected in 1701-1704; the restored Court House of 1770 which contains an unique archaeological exhibit of colonial glass, china, hardware, utensils and building materials recovered in excavating more than one hundred foundations in Williamsburg; the restored Ludwell-Paradise House, 1717-1719, one of the notable houses in the city which now contains Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s collection of American Folk Art; the restored Market Square Tavern and the Travis House. The George Wythe House, with its extensive gardens and outbuildings, has recently been restored and furnished in contemporary antiques, and is one of the Restoration exhibition buildings. Originally the home of George Wythe, signer of the Declaration of Independence and professor of the first American law course, the house was used Washington's headquarters prior to the siege of Yorktown. The Craft House, adjoining the Williamsburg Inn, is the display headquarters of the official craft program developed by the Restoration, and also houses the information office. Five Craft Shops, the Ayscough Shop, the Deane Shop and Forge, the Sign of the Golden Ball, the Wigmaker's Shop and the Bootmaker's Shop-in all of which costumed artisans work at eighteenth century hand trades are now open to the public.
