On October 12, 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt renames “Executive Mansion,” “The White House.”
 
The building was originally referred to variously as the "President's Palace", "Presidential Mansion", or "President's House".  A myth emerged that during the rebuilding of the structure after the Burning of Washington, white paint was applied to mask the burn damage it had suffered  giving the building its namesake hue. The name "Executive Mansion" was used in official contexts until President Theodore Roosevelt established the formal name by having "White House–Washington" engraved on the stationery.

Today, the White House is known around the world as a symbol of the power and influence of the United States. The White House is the official residence of the President of the United States of America, and has been for over 200 years. It is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., the capital city of the USA.

The White House was designed by the Irish-American architect James Hoban, who had won an architectural design competition in 1792. The White House was originally built from 1792 to 1800; it was constructed by paid and slave laborers, including stonemasons brought in from Scotland.  It was burned down by British soldiers during the War of 1812, but was rebuilt from 1815 to 1817.
