The White House.

Just how the White House came to
be so designated is question on which
historians differ. A local historian in
Washington thinks that the burden of
proof tends to give credit for the name
to President Madison.
The structure was made of Potomac
river freestone and the Capitol proper
was built Of the same stone. At the
time the British burned the executive
mansion they did a lot of other dam
age, and the country was pressed for
money to repair the same. The walls
of the mansion were only slightly dam
aged, other than being blackened by
smoke. Money was scarce, and Con-
gress made an appropriation to have
the outside of the house painted.
