The building was originally referred to variously as the "President's Palace", "Presidential Mansion", or "President's House " The name "Executive Mansion" was used in official contexts until President Theodore Roosevelt established the formal name by having "White House--Washington" engraved on the stationery in 1901. The current letterhead wording and arrangement "The White House" with the word "Washington" centered beneath goes back to the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Previous answer in this space was:

"Roosevelt didn't give his residence the name of the "White House." Published works show that it had that nickname as early as 1811. Roosevelt simply adapted the informal name as the official name. In the 1800's very few houses were painted because paint was very expensive so to paint a whole house white was unusual and stood out against the unbuilt Washington DC."

His plan was that the USA would assume all of the debts of all of the states (each individual State had debt to various places at the time). This was great for all of the States, save Virginia, which had already payed off all of its debts.

So in order for the Bill to pass the south insisted that the nations capitol would be moved to a more central location, that central location being Washington D.C.
