| Although it wasn't dubbed the
White House until
President Teddy Roosevelt did so in 1901, the White House held an
important spot in the public consciousness of the American people from
1800, when the house was first inhabited by John and Abigail
Adams. The White House, a large, elegant house, which has 132 rooms, 32
bathrooms and 6 levels to accommodate not only the presidents and their
families, but all of the presidential staff who work there,
is
the heart of the D.C. Since the White House combines both the personal and work lives of the President in one spot, it is the place where all important dignitaries and leaders, from all over the world, are hosted. The White House has five full-time chefs and the kitchen is able handle serving a 140-person dinner and a cocktail party of a 1,000. The White House residents do more than work, however. A swimming pool, movie theater, bowling alley, tennis court and track give the presidential family and White House staff a place to kickback and relax.  tour info coming soon!
