White House

Andrew Jackson was the first to have running water. Running water was introduced into the White House in 1833(along with central heating). Initially its purpose was to supply the house with drinking water and to fill reservoirs for protection against fire. An engineer named Robert Leckie built the system of reservoirs, pumps, and pipes that supplied the White House, and the Treasury, State, War, and Navy buildings with water. Very soon, a "bathing room" was established in the east wing to take advantage of the fine water supply. The room featured a cold bath, a shower, and a hot bath heated by coal fires under large copper boilers. Some sources will say that it was during the administration of Milliard Filmore but that is a mistake.

No, it was during the Revolution- but it wasn't burned completely. It was originally built of stone and the entire face was covered with soot when the British set it on fire, the front was then painted white to cover the damage. I believe much of the inside was burnt out too.

I am not sure that they do. The staff has the job of keeping the president current on political matters, helping write speeches , keep up his approval rating and positioning him to run for a second term if he wishes, so if that is his main focus, they are the people he relies on. However, when it comes to running the country, I would think he would rely heavily on his Cabinet officers except perhaps on the ones he may have appointed as tokens to give an ethnic balance to the cabinet.

The White House contains 55,000 square feet which is about 1.26. acres.

Each President picks his/her own staff, which become the President's closest advisors and usually have offices in the White House. (West Wing) Their titles do not always indicate the function they perform for the Chief Executive--assistant to the President; special consultant; counselor; etc. The titles vary from one administration to the next but in general, the men and women who hold the offices oversee the political and policy interests of the President. As part of a personal staff, they do not have to be confirmed by the Senate and they can be hired and fired at will. There are two ways to organize the staff: the circular method in which several assistants report directly to the President; and the pyramid method in which most assistants report through a hierarchy to a chief of staff who then deals with the President. Over the years, the White House staff has become an important group of advisors to the President and at times, are very powerful in influence.

Three different types of marble were used in the construction of the White House:

The first marble came from a layer of stone called Cockeysville Marble, from quarries in the Piedmont province at Cockeysville and Texas, Md., just north of Baltimore. The marble at Cockeysville is fine grained and contains significant amounts of magnesium. It is a clear white stone with a few pale streaks or bands, which give an effect of pale gray.

four courses or rows of white marble from Sheffield, Mass., were laid above the Texas marble. However, because of difficulties with timely delivery and quality control, the contract with the Sheffield quarry was annulled in 1880. The upper part of the monument was finished with Cockeysville marble. The three marbles used in the monument can be distinguished by color differences.

The white Maryland marbles were the last building stones used apon the layers of other marble.
