In 1800 the White House was not finished and was wood. When John Adams moved in several of the rooms that are now open to the public were not finished. They hung laundry in the East room. The third floor was not really a "floor" but an attic that was only reached by a ladder. It was used as living space by the servants of the house. The porch that you see today wasn't there and wouldn't be added for another 100 years and the walk way you see today wasn't there yet. Landscaping was very slim with many of the plants just starting. Every president has added something to the house or changed it in someway. It is still changing.
