Home of the President
The White House is located in Washington, D.C., the capital city of the United States. It is the official home and workplace of the President of the United States. Its address, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, is one of the most famous addresses in the world.
A Building with a Long History
The White House has stood for more than two centuries. Every U.S. president except the very first has lived there. The building has its own dramatic history: during a war in the early nineteenth century, it was set on fire and badly damaged, then rebuilt. Over the years it has been expanded and renovated many times.
More Than a House
The White House is far more than just a residence. It is the headquarters of the executive branch of the U.S. government, full of offices where the president and staff work. It is so closely linked to the presidency that the phrase "the White House" is often used to mean the president and the administration themselves. It is also a recognisable national symbol, visited and photographed by people from all over the world.
