The American White House is often referred to as a national symbol for many reasons. First, it is the seat of executive/federal power through its residence of the president. Second, the White House has ceremonial purposes as being the reception and host to foreign heads of state. Lastly, the burning of the White House (and Washington) by the British during the War of 1812 further made it symbolic to the psyche and identity to the then young American state.
