The White House is in The District of Columbia. It is the site of the Federal Government of the United States of America. It is not a state, but has a local government all of its own. Pray the President and Congress and those who work there remain safe from terrorist--best they are fought overseas than locally. Jay

I'm wondering if your question isn't asking "What is the physical/structural state of the White House?" along the topic of the bridge in MN...
IF that is your question - the White House was renovated during President Harry Truman's time in office. The structure, which was originally built using wooden beams, was gutted and steel beams and modern building techniques replaced the shabby structure. The White House today is inspected by the Army Corp of Engineers each year (I believe - this is what I've heard but I do not have a source on that).

The White House, the nation's capitol, aand most of the nation's governmental buildings are in the District of Columbia which is a separate entity from all states. This district was set aside so that no state would have a say over our nation's government.

the white house is located between silver spring maryland and arlington, rosslyn VA. It is pretty easy to see once you get past all the trees, I would not recommend a visit, it is a circus there.
But you ask what state is it in. The state of the white house is different from its location. It is pretty typical of government housing with roaches, rodents, probably bed bugs, and of course the politicians go there so it is unlikely to be safe for women and children.
they do keep the lawn looking good however (on the only side open to the public).

It's not in any state.
The District of Columbia is separate federal territory, outside of any state. Washington is the main city in DC.
See Article I Section 8 (which limits the area to 10 miles square).

Not in any state. That was the whole point of creating the federal district. The land that now constitutes the District of Columbia was originally part of Virginia. Maryland contributed territory, too, but after L'Enfant submitted his designs, Congress decided that the Maryland donation was surplus and the land was given back.

The white house is in the District of Columbia(D.C) which is not a state. D.C is surrounded by the State of Maryland and also borders Virginia.

It is in no State. Washington, District of Columbia is sort of a limbo thing.
People living there can't vote for certain things because they are not citizens of any State. They cry about it all the time. It's on some of their license plates (Taxation without representation)
On the map, it is in Maryland on the Virginia border. I personally think for tax and voting purposes it should be considered Maryland.
