Formerly known as the Presidents House, then the Executive Mansion, and now for a long time the White House, this famous structure has a fascinating architectural history of ongoing change. The white painted facade of James Hobans original structure has been added to and strengthened for more than 200 years, and its interior is a repository of some of Americas greatest treasures. Artists such as Benjamin Latrobe, Pierre-Antoine Bellange, the Herter Brothers, Louis Tiffany, Charles McKim, Lorenzo Winslow, Stephane Boudin, Edward Vason Jones, and a host of others fashioned interiors that welcomed and inspired visitors both foreign and domestic. This meticulous history, featuring more than 325 photographs, diagrams and other illustrations, captures each stage of the White Houses architectural and decorative evolution.About author(s):Patrick Phillips-Schrock is a professor of French and history from Des Moines, Iowa.
