The White House

The construction of The White House took place over a period of eight years, from October 13, 1792 to November 1, 1800. President John Adams was the first U.S. President to reside in the White House. The newly constructed building was referred to as the "President's Palace," "Presidential Mansion," and "President's House," until 1811 when the term "White House" was first used.
