the earliest Trafition dates back to the time when a plague had devestade people and many died. It was last thought to cleanse the house a white wash might ward off evil spirits. In effect it did what the Greeks had done for years in their trees namely apply lime to the trunk if their trees to control insects. The plague carried by insects so white washing to the houses killed the bugs and allowed many people to live. In honor of that the agreement government mandated all houses be whie washed.

What color was the white house before it was white?

Many people including have supposed that the white house was painted white in order to cover burn marks left by British troops in 1814. I just finished a guided tour of the White House today, where it was explained that the exterior walls were constructed of sandstone quarried from Aquia Creek quarry in Stafford VA. The presidential structure was painted white in 1798, (16 years before the White House was burned) in order to protect the sandstone from damage caused by water and winter freezes. The name "White House" did not become official until Theodore Roosevelt issued an executive order in 1901, although there are many references to "the White House" that predate the war of 1812.
