The White House had a tumultuous beginning, with it taking nine years to build the first version of the world’s most famous residence. George Washington chose the location in 1791, and John Adams was the first president to move into the home in 1800. However, the home was partially destroyed in the War of 1812 and wasn’t livable again until 1817 during the Monroe Administration.
