What does the White House do in America?
The White House is the official residence and office of the President of the United States. 1902 was officially named "White House" by President theodore roosevelt.

The White House is a white neoclassical sandstone building, located at No.0/600, Pennsylvania Avenue, northwest of Washington, D.C. The White House covers an area of more than 73,000 square meters and consists of the main building and the east and west wings.

After the founding of the United States, the government wanted to build a big mansion (now the White House) where the president lived, and specially invited a famous designer at that time to design the White House into a palace.

Washington, the first president of the United States, was very disgusted to learn that we are a democratic and free country and how the president can live in the palace. So he fired the designer and adopted another designer's plan, which led to the emergence of the White House. But at that time, the White House was still the largest mansion in America.
