Yes, it was often referred to as The Presidential Mansion or The Presidential Palace. First Lady Dolley Madison referred to it as The President's Castle. The first evidence of the public referring to it as The White House was recorded in 1811. In 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt made The White House it's official name.
