Two actually. Madison was President when the British burned the building during the war of 1812 (actually burned in 1814) and Truman had the White House completely gutted and rebuilt (except for the outer stone walls) when his daughter's piano fell through the floor because of deterioration. When the British burned the White House it was said that it was painted white afterwards to mask the damage but this isn't true. The White House has been painted white since 1798. However, most of the walls had to be torn down and reconstructed (from the same stone) after the fire. The only wall that still stood was the southernmost wall
