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.
