Best Answer

President George Washington did not live in the White House, the capital was in Philadelphia at that time.

President John Adams was the first president to live in the White House--then referred to as the Executive Mansion.

President Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809) was the first president to spend his entire term in the White House.

The President's House in Philadelphia -

An enormous mansion for the President (about two-thirds the size of the White House) was begun on Ninth Street in Philadelphia.

Washington occupied the Market Street House from November 1790 to March 1797.

Adams succeeded Washington as President, and, after declining to occupy the newly completed mansion on Ninth Street, he moved into the Market Street house in March 1797. The Residence Act of 1790 called for the District of Columbia to become the national capital on the first Monday in December, 1800.

Adams left Philadelphia in late May, and spent several months on his farm in Massachusetts before moving into the White House on November 1.

The Philadelphia house was converted into Francis's Union Hotel, and Mrs. Adams stayed there on her way south from Massachusetts to the new capital.
