History of the White House / Which American president was the first resident?

On October 13, 1792, President George Washington ceremonially laid the cornerstone of the building that would become the official residence of the presidents of the United States.

The architect of the building, which was called the "Palace of the President", was the Irish immigrant James Hoban. His assistant was Benjamin Latrobe of Pennsylvania.

The project was similar to the Duke of Leinster's Palace in Ireland. The second president of the United States, John Adams, was the first resident of the President's House in 1800.

Since then, all US presidents have lived in this residence. The original building was burned by British troops during the war of 1818.

After it was rebuilt and James Hoban ordered the building to be painted white, it was given the name it has today, The White House.
