The White House.

It's corner stone was laid on the thiri
teenth Of October, 1872, under the su.
perintendence of Captain james Hobon,
an Irish architect, direct from Dublin,
who accepted the award of $500 (then
thought to be large amounD for the
design.
He Is buried In the Catholic cemetery
at Washington, and his descendants still
live in that city.
The British destroyed the building iii
the year 1914. but it was rebuilt by Cap
tain Hobon, and was first opened for the
reception ofvisitors on January l, 1878.
The portico of four lofty columns, ON
the north side, was added in 1929, dur
ing the administration Of President
jackson.
II is lofty building, two stories in
height, with frontage of one hundred
aud eighty feet and depth OF eighty
five feet. The vestibuIe within the front
door is fifty feet long by forty wide.-
The famous East room, which was fin
ished fifty years ago, is eighty feet long,
forty feet wide and TWENTY-FIVE feet high.
Eight large mirrors and three chan
deliers, of crystal and silver, adorn the
room. The walls are covered with gray
paper, and the furniture is trimmed with
gray rep and maroon velvet. With the
exception of our public halls. it is the
largest in the country and, for its size,
is certainly the hsndsomest.
The Presidents office, which is on
the second story, and which is the Cab-
net room also, is not very large. It is
thirty five or forty feet long snd thirty
or thirty-6ve feet vide, with ceiling
about twenty feet high. In the middle
of the floor is a long table, surrounded
BY leather-seated chairs; long lambre-
quin curtains of dark, blush gray col.
or sdorn the windows, and the carpet is
of red tint, with large figures, aud
large map Of the United States is on
the wall.
Wasbington is a Government creation,
and the White House is chiefly memo.
rable on account Of the men who have
lived in it. Every one OF our Presi.
dents except Washington has resided in
this famous house.
The original cost of this building in
1899 va, about $685., 900, and the total
cost up to this time is about 81 800, 900.
