Popular legend holds that during the rebuilding of the structure white paint was applied to mask the burn damage it had suffered, giving the building its namesake hue. This is, however, unfounded as the building had been painted white since its construction in 1798.
Few people realize the size of the White House, since much of it is below ground or otherwise minimized by landscaping. In fact, the White House has:
6 stories and 55,000 ft² (5,100 m²) of floor space
132 rooms and 35 bathrooms [2]
412 doors
147 windows
28 fireplaces
8 staircases
3 elevators
5 full-time chefs
5,000 visitors a day
1,825,000 visitors a year
a tennis court
a bowling alley
a movie theater
a jogging track
a swimming pool
a putting green

Yes the white house has always been inhabited by white people... It is one of the greatest awards for a ***** to be invited to the masters house... ask Michael Jordan.

It's not called the White house because of the color that it is painted.
