The cornerstone of the White House was laid October 13, 1792, on a site selected by President George Washington. Plans for the house were drawn by Irish-born architect James Hoban, who also superintended its construction. (Hoban also supervised the reconstruction of the house after it was burned by the British in 1814, and the erection of the north and south porticos some years later. ) The exterior sandstone walls were painted during the course of construction, causing the building to be termed the "White House" from an early date. For many years, however, people generally refered to it as the "President’s House" or the "President’s Palace". 我来回答: 提交
