Context
Construction began in 1792, and President John Adams became the first occupant in 1800. The building was burned by British forces in 1814 during the War of 1812 and subsequently rebuilt. The name 'White House' became official under President Theodore Roosevelt in 1901, though the building had been painted white since its reconstruction.
