William Howard Taft
Yes he made the white house
He was known for the things that he did in the White House other than the first Easter egg hunt held at the White House.
Although originally called the President's Palace, the Presidential Mansion, or the President's House, the formal name was the Executive Mansion. References to the home as the White House appear as early as 1811. President Theodore Roosevelt made formal the usage in 1901 when he had the "White House" name added to the official stationery.
the White House started being built in 1792, but it wasn't nearly complete until 1800. By then President john Adams and his wife moved in.
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.
No- he was the President, not a house-painter. Moreover, the White House did not need painting on the outside when Adams lived there, since it was made of new stone.
The color of the Executive Mansion was made from gray-colored sandstone from a quarry in Aquia, Virginia. It was painted white after it was burnt in 1812 by the British. It was later called "The White House" because it was repainted white because to paint a house was expensive. President Teddy Roosevelt officially named it "The White House" when he was president.
