One. The White House was first called the President's House, but in the War of 1812 the British set fire to it. It didn't burn down, but sections were burned ( today some of the damage can still be seen when the paint is removed) and when it was repaired it was painted white. In the 1700's to have a painted building was very unusual because paint was so expensive so to have a whole house painted in the early building of Washington it stood out. The house has been added to, remodeled, and changed through the years. The third floor was once the servants quarters and could only be reached by a ladder. Today it is a whole floor. There is a Bowling alley, theater, flower shop in the White House. The bottom floor, which is open to the public, is considered a museum and is under the guidance of the National Park Service. They often change the items from the collection of Presidential items.

Did race have an impact in the naming of the White House?

No, not at all. In the 1800's paint was very expensive and most houses were wooden unpainted houses. After the British burned the White House in 1812 it was painted white to cover the burn marks on the wood ( they just did some work on it and found some of the burn marks still on it) and because it stood out people started using the term "white house" to mean the house that was painted white. It could have been any color if colored paint had existed then, but only white was made. So, the term for the president's house became the "white house" and still today we all know what house that it is just by that name.
