@whitehousehistory On August 24, 1814, the British burned the President’s House. When the British arrived at the empty President’s House, they enjoyed the evening meal that had been prepared for guests of the first family before setting the building on fire and destroying everything of value. President James Madison and other high-ranking government officials stayed in the countryside while the British occupied the defenseless capital for more than a day. The episode marked the lowest point of the War of 1812 for American morale. Less than a month later, the Americans claimed a key victory when Fort McHenry repulsed the British forces at Baltimore, and, after the Treaty of Ghent, the very survival of the young republic would be framed as a national victory. Renovating the Executive Mansion in the same location and with the original design became a point of pride for Americans, and original architect James Hoban was hired to do just that. In October 1817, President James Monroe moved into the White House, where every American president and his family has lived since.

#RashtrapatiBhawan Our #PresidentsHouse is the second largest residence of a head of state in the world. It has more than 300 rooms including the staff rooms. It was completed in a duration of 17 years. In the construction, more than 29,000 workers were employed and 700 million bricks were used. It is built on #RaisinaHills. These hills are named after the two villages – Raisini and Malcha – which were cleared in order to build the palace, house of India’s Viceroy back then. https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXSlsrAYmp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nuxd2099k2hr

"I remember someone once asked Jack Kennedy why he was paying such close attention to the renovation of the square across from the White House, and he said, "It may be the only thing my presidency is remembered for." - Gloria Steinem . On Aug 24, 1814 during the course of the War of 1812, British troops entered Washington D.C. and set fire to the White House in retaliation for the American attack on the city of York in Ontario, Canada in June 1812. . . #whitehouse #presidentshouse #americanhistory #washingtondc #warof1812 #asoutherngirlsview #travelphotographer #historian #educator #worldtraveler #womenwhotravel #roadtrip #southerngirl #photojournalist #lifestylephotographer #lifestylephotography #tennesseegirl #travelphotography #history #portraitphotographer #travelwriter #teacher (at The White House)
