Historic designations
[edit]Is there a reason that neither the article prose nor the infobox makes any mention that the White House is a National Historic Landmark? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris857 (talk • contribs) 09:46, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
Reason behind naming White House
[edit]When construction was finished, the porous sandstone walls were whitewashed with a mixture of lime, rice glue, casein, and lead, giving the house its familiar color and name. 223.191.33.155 (talk) 07:41, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
