Introduction

The White House is the presidential residence located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in northwest Washington, D.C. Its exterior is made of white sandstone, hence the name. The White House is divided into two parts: the main building and the east and west wings. The main building includes a library, map room, and displays of gold, silver, and porcelain gifts from various countries. The west wing is the office area, including the oval-shaped presidential office. Outside, visitors can enjoy the beautiful Rose Garden and south lawn. Unlike the grandeur of the dome of the Capitol building, the White House is a three-story, flat-roofed neoclassical-style building. Due to their similar appearance, some domestic media often confuse the White House with the Capitol building. However, the White House is the living space of the U.S. president and their family.
