About The White House and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
The White House, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC, stands as the world's most recognized symbol of American democracy and executive power. Designed by Irish-born architect James Hoban in neoclassical style, construction began in 1792 and was completed in 1800 when President John Adams became its first resident. Since then, every U.S. President has called this iconic building home, making it the oldest public building in Washington DC still in its original use. The mansion contains 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, 6 levels, 412 doors, 147 windows, 28 fireplaces, 8 staircases, and 3 elevators across 55,000 square feet of floor space. Beyond serving as the President's residence, The White House functions as the executive office headquarters, hosts state dinners and diplomatic events, and welcomes over 30,000 visitors weekly for public tours. The building has witnessed pivotal moments in American history—from Abraham Lincoln's preservation of the Union to Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, from the Civil Rights movement to modern-day policy decisions. The North Portico, with its iconic columned façade, has become one of the most photographed and recognizable architectural features in the world. Whether you've toured the East Wing, walked past on Pennsylvania Avenue, or admired it from Lafayette Square, The White House represents the enduring strength of American democracy, the peaceful transfer of power, and the ideals upon which the nation was founded. This poster honors the architectural beauty and profound historical significance of America's most famous address.
