USA White house. 10 facts.

 

front of white house is really exciting, fascinated, . I want accomplish work in this building.

The construction of the building was completed on November 1, 1800, soon after US President John Adams moved in. Thus, only the first president of the country, George Washington, who held this post in 1789-1797, could not work in the White House. The reason was valid - the construction was not yet completed at that time. At the same time, Washington took an active part in the development of the White House plan. Immediately after the completion of construction, the building simply could not be called the White House, as it was built of gray sandstone. In 1814, the house was burned down by the British and had to be overhauled. It was at this time that it was painted white. Now the White House is not striking in its size, its height is rather modest - just over 21 meters. But, until the sixties of the nineteenth century, it was the largest building in the United States. It has 132 rooms, 147 windows, 412 doors, 8 stairs, 3 elevators and as many as 35 bathrooms. Anyone with American citizenship can visit the White House. True, the size of the group must be at least 10 people. Those who wish have to sign up for a queue six months in advance. It is more difficult for foreigners to do this, but many travel agencies are ready to offer such a service for a certain amount. Each president of the country, having taken office, has the right to make a reshuffle in the White House to his liking. For example, an indoor pool was installed for Franklin Roosevelt, whose legs were paralyzed after suffering polio. Dwight David Eisenhower was given an artificial turf, and Bill Clinton preferred to fight overweight with a treadmill.
