Some answerers are confused.
The Executive Mansion is the White House, which wasn't not called the White House in the beginning (http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/life/).
However, next door to the White House is the Old Executive Office Building, also called the Eisenhower Building (http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/eeobtour/). It used to house the Departments of State, War, and the Navy. Then, those departments got their own buildings (the State Department near the Lincoln Memorial and the Pentagon for the newly named Department of Defense across the Potomac in Virginia). Now, it houses the overflow of the West Wing . . . and it is where the Vice President has one of his offices. There is also the New Executive Office Building just north of the old one, in one of those ugly red brick buildings bordering LaFayette Square.

No although they are very close to each other. The Executive Mansion is located right next to the White House and is where most of the work concerning the White House goes on. There are tunnels between the two buildings.
