The detailed 22 min White House VR tour ..

Aerial view of the White House

Ever since land for the official residence of the President of the United States of America was selected by George Washington in 1791, building plan submitted by Irish architect James Hoban was selected. The corner stone was laid the next year and construction was completed by 1800 AD when President John Adams moved in.  

It is quite interesting that in the War between England and the American settlers, that started in 1812, the White House was set on fire in 1814.  The renovation after the fire was completed in 1817 and President John Munroe moved in the year 1817.

Except for some additions done in the nineteenth century and two minor renovations carried out by Theodore Roosevelt in 1901 and Harry Truman in 1948, the building that was formerly called The President's Palace, the Executive Mansion, President's Residence etc. has virtually remained the same.
