Brief introduction of the white house

1. The White House is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C., Maryland.

The White House covers an area of more than 73,000 square meters and consists of the main building and the east and west wings. Because the White House is where the President of the United States lives and works, the word "White House" often refers to the American government.

The White House was not called "White House" when it was built. It was a gray sandstone building. It was destroyed by fire in the Second Anglo-American War in 18 12. After the war, all the gray stone walls were painted white to hide the traces of the fire kiss, and President theodore roosevelt officially named it "White House" on 1902.
