WHY
IS THE WHITE HOUSE WHITE?
We have all heard
of the famous White House in Washington D.C, the
official residence of the President of
America, but how many of us know why it is white.
It is known that the original building was set on fire by the British during the British-American War of 1812, when
the Americans fought for their independence. Later
the building was restored and painted white (to hide the smoke stains on the walls), and it has kept that colour since that time as a part of American
history.
The White House
was designed by James Hoban in 1792. All presidents, except George Washington,
have lived there. There are 132 rooms and 20 baths and showers. The largest
room on the main floor is East Room; here receptions and balls are held. The
famous elliptical Blue Room is for state dinners and receptions. The President
and his family live on the upper floors.
The President's office, the Oval Room, or
the Oval Office, is in the West Wing. The East Wing is used by officials
and staff members.
