George Washington and L'Efant decided on the location of the "Presidential Palace" as it would originally be called and there was a competition held to decide who would design it. An Irishman named James Hoban and the design was chosen by George Washington. Thomas Jefferson had also submitted a plan but his wasn't chosen
