History OF the White House,


The White House at Washington, n.
c., was commenced in October, 1872.
Tho commissioners of Washington
sort of board Of public works in those
days-offered premium for competl-
tive plans, and tho award was given to
James Hoban. The building was mod
eled after the palace of the Duke OF
Leinster. 1t is l70 feet front by Sc feet
deep. 1t has the appearance of being
built of white marble, but the material
is freestone, painted white, with Ionic
poruco, comprehending two stories,
crowned with balustrade. The interi-
or is planned moro for display than
for health. 1t is curious TO remember,
in this centennial year, that in 1914 the
Britishers invaded the White House,
and very seriously injured the magnlti-
cent state dining groom by their crude
ana barbarous practices. The invaders
hands, which have had recourse to the
torch, sdid not hesitate to defacc the col
umns and panelIngs of the presidential
mansion with spur and bayonet. The
building was repaired under the super
vision of the original architect, James
Hoban.

washerwoman, at the hotel where the
Governor stopped, was unloading her
basket Of linen in the presence of the

When she had deposited about halt the
