James Madison was the President who needed a new home due to the burning of the White House in 1812. He accepted the offer of Colonel John Tayloe to move into a house that Tayloe owned in Washington known as the Octagon House. The house is located at 18th and New York Ave, NW and has been restored to its original appearance and is open as a museum on a limited basis.

∙ 10y agoAfter the White House was burned, the president stayed in the Octagon House, located at 18th Street and New York Avenue in Washington. The house belonged to Colonel John Taylor who offered it to the President and had a plantation home in Richmond County, and so did not really need his Washington house.
