The freemasons built the white house in honor of the Greek architecture which also helped influence many European architects to develop major buildings, capital centers, and royal houses in a similar shape. The architecture has withstood the test of time as a type of building that does not always need constant repair. Allegedly, the white house is based off of this, and probably this. The white house was actually apparently called the "Executive Mansion" until Teddy Roosevelt got the brilliant idea of naming it "The White House."

So you can thank the moose man who got shot in the stomach and delivered a 1 hour speech after being shot for naming this building.

Fuck you. America.

After re-reading on an article on Wikipedia (right.) - allegedly the White House was painted white after a fire or some battle or something in the 1700s. I doubt that was true, although white is a good cover-up for scars you don't want to wear because British people were greedy tea drinkers that wanted to raze our colonies to the ground because taxes.

It's kind of like what the liberals of America want to do except they've yet to pick up a gun for once in their life.

Uhhh, dude, the War of 1812?

Why do you doubt that it's true? Do you have some sort of insider knowledge you are holding from historians or something?

Maybe it had something to do with what materials they had, I mean maybe they could not find enough of one color to build it.

A male Godzilla mistook it for a lady Godzilla and, well, things happened and it ended up all white. (It's also where the lizard people come from)

Because if you ever told them back then that there would be a black president in the future, they would laugh, then cry, then shoot you, then burn you and then piss on you.

Doesn't it have something to do with the color white reflecting light instead of absorbing it?
