When was the white house built? Why was it burned? When was the first picture taken?

The White House was built during John Adams presidency.  He lived in it for a really brief period of time, but then Jefferson moved in.  It was burned during the War of 1812 during James Madison's presidency.  The British sacked Washington and burned it.  Dolly Madison saved the painting of George Washington.  I have no clue about the first picture.

America, it is, or shall I say was a Protestant country (and he had two horns like a lamb), it made himself an image unto the beast, the St Peters Church in the vatican is exactly the same as the white house.\nCheck out www.tomorrowsworld.org, go to the booklet section

That is right. John Adams was the first to live in the White House. George Washington did help to lay the corner stone.\n\nDuring the renovation in the 1950's Eisenhower did not live there for a while, but he did spend part of his term in the White House.

It began after the First Continental Congress?  LMAO..  Research it, using wikipedia, the encyclopedia and other sources.  Then report as if you are a star chasing paparazzi, clamoring to view Washington's newest girl, Franklin's bling bling and Jefferson's mixed kids....have fun with it.

The President's Residence (first called the White House by Teddy Roosevelt) was placed in Washington, D.C. because of a deal made when the US was very young...\n\nAs I understand it, originally the two major candidates for the Capitol City of the new Republic were Philadelphia (where the Declaration of Independence was signed) and New York City (which was - and is - our largest city) - both in the North. At the same time, there was a problem concerning the war debts the Thirteen States had (remember, they considered themselves 13 COUNTRIES back then). So a deal was struck: in exchange for the rich states allowing national "assumption" of the war debt (and so helping the poorer states out), they would move the Capitol to a (then) brand new location in the South, on the Potomac River.

A couple points of claification. \nIt was a "British and Canadian" assault. Canada became a self governing Dominion in 1867, however the people that lived here were called Canadians. e.g. The (UELs),  United Empire Loyalists, when they came north following the US rebellion, came here and became Canadians, Not British. The burning was in retaliation for the burning of York,(now Toronto). \nThe main fact was when Washington was burnt, it was only the Government buildings, including the presidents mansion. It was not burnt to the ground, but was badly charred. The only paint available to cover the charred outside was WHITE, since then it has always been white. \nBill Clinton, when giving private tours, would take people to the attic and show them the charred timbers, that are still there. And you do not have to thank us for your having a Whitehouse. It was a pleasure. How Come "England & U.S.A." are upper case & Canadian's is lower case? Interesting.
