Re: Jlarsen's Knowledge of American History Poll Series: 1st President in The White H
Hmmm...tough one for a Canadian.
I know Dolly Madison was saving stuff in the White House when our guys were burning it down during the war of 1812, so James Madison, or somebody before him. He's what 3rd, or fourth? Let's say fourth. So I've got it narrowed down to 4. No wait. They burned it down, so which White House? OK, I've got it down to 5.

The first one in Washington (before it was burned), not the presidents home in Philadelphia before the capital was moved to D.C. It's building was commissioned by George Washington. For a Canadian you are doing pretty well with these. You should just move here and become a citizen.

Also, few people know that the White House today, was essentially built during the Truman Administration. So I guess that there have been three. http://www.bremenbaseball.com/whm/im...1950-shell.jpg Truman Reconstruction - White House Museum
