The White House as we know it was completed first, but it's really a toss up as to whether the White House or the Capitol can be considered the oldest.
Construction of the White House began in 1792 and of the Capitol in 1793. John Adams moved into the White House on or about November 1, 1800; the first session of Congress to take place in the Capitol began on November 17, 1800. Construction on both buildings continued for many years.
The Commandant's House at the Marine Barracks in southeast DC is said to be "the oldest public building in continuous use in the nation's capital," but it was not completed until 1806.

Is Virgil Public School the oldest school in Canada?
The answer to that I believe would be no. The oldest public school still in operation in Canada to my knowledge is Pictou Academy which was first founded by that name in 1816, though the founder had been running a school out of his home since 1806. Pictou is the Oldest Existing School but Virgil's Building from 1872 is older than Pictou's current building from 1940! SO the answer is yes and no!
