White House

Construction on this hallowed residence
began in 1792 and ended with
much patriotic fanfare in 1800. Though
never inhabited by George Washington
himself, the White House was nevertheless
conceived by the father of our
nation as a holy fortress from which to
guard against the tyranny of "big government"
and "social programs."
The President's house, one of the most
popular sights in D.C. Only the public
rooms on the ground floor and the state
floor may be visited, and the hours are
limited. The White House may be closed
at various times due to security concerns
and special events. Nearest Metros are
the Farragut West, McPherson Square or
Metro Center.
