It was started in 1792 by Irish architect James Hoban and finished in 1800. Constant renovations were made, especially after the building was set on fire in the War of 1812 by the British, but not burned down. Scorch marks can still be seen on the house today. Jefferson added colonnades on both sides of the building during his term as president. Truman added the second story balcony after it's renovation during his term (coincidentally named the Truman Balcony). Each president makes their own mark on the building.
