Who was the president when they installed running water in the White House?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Andrew Jackson was the president when the White House got running water. There were wood fired boilers to heat water for baths, so there may have been only a few hot water taps. The water was installed mostly for fire prevention and was not put into the living quarters upstairs. The date when water was piped upstairs seems to be uncertain.
