Which president completed the building of the White House?
This question has a complex answer depending on how technical you want to get. The White House was built...added onto....rebuilt.....added onto....gutted and restored...and so on. The White House is really a building that has changed much over the years. Officially, construction began on October 13, 1792. Construction was done, in large part, by African-Americans - both slaves and freemen...as well as by Europeans. John Adams - the second President - moved into the White House while it was still under construction. This construction on the primary building lasted until 1800....during which John Adams was still President. However...the building that Adams lived in is much different today. Numerous Presidents, starting with Adams' successor Thomas Jefferson, have changed the White House in a significant way. In 1814, during the War of 1812 and during the administration of James Madison, the White House was set on fire by British Troops. President James Monroe moved back into the White House in October of 1817. There were numerous additions/changes made after that, including the addition of the South and North Porticos in the 1820s...the construction of the famed West Wing to where Teddy Roosevelt moved the executive offices in 1901...and so on. Harry Truman ordered an extensive reconstruction and renovation of the White House during his Administration. Additionally, John F. Kennedy's Administration oversaw an extensive redecoration effort in the early 1960s. Thus, there is really no simple answer to this question. One could say it depends on "which White House" you are referring to.
Who was president when the term White House was originated?
President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave the White House its current name in 1901. In previous times in history, the White House has been known by several different names such as the President's Palace, the President's House and the Executive Mansion. George Washington chose the site for the White House in 1791 and construction began fairly soon after with the cornerstone being laid in 1792. There was a competition run for people to submit designs for thePresidents house and this was won by an Irish architect by the name of James Hoban. President John Adams moved into the house before it was finished in 1800, eight years after it was started. British soldiers set fire to the house in 1814 and much of it had to be rebuilt with the work being done by James Hoban over a period of 3 or 4 years. The South and North Porticos were added in 1824 and 1829 respectively.
Which key member of the white house office is considered to have the most influence over the president?
The Chief of Staff
Who was the first president to use the term White House on presidential stationery?
Possibly James Madison. The "Executive Mansion" was burned by the British during the war of 1812, and after the war was over, it was painted white to cover smoke damage. Madison was president at the time, and may have dubbed it "The White House", but it is equally likely people just began popularly calling it that.
