Unfortunately, it burned on August 24th. The British did it! The British did it! The Americans saw the White House going up in flames and took it as a sure sign they lost the War of 1812. After the fire, the British raided the White House for all its spoils. Luckily, General Andrew Jackson (yes, the future president) prevented the British from taking over New Orleans five months after the fire...resurging the hopes of many Americans. It took two years to rebuild the White House, 1815-1817.
