sign for house to serve as a home
for the President in Washington. James
Hoban. an Irishman from South Caro-
lima, was the successful competitor.
His sketch contained so many wings
and colonnades that the public was hor-
rified and frills and gingerbread deco
rations were eliminated. The result
was the two-story White House as we
know it now. Washington laid the cor
nerstone of the building in 1892. 1t
was completed in 1893, the year of
Washington's death.
John Adams was the first President
t. occupy the White House, and it was
said of Abigail Adams. his wife. that
she hung up the family wash in the
east room. =
