Exterior view of a "snowbound" White House, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the National Capitol. The White House, designed by Irish-born architect James Hoban, was constructed between the years of 1792 and 1800 and became the official private home for presidents and their families once John and Abigail Adams moved in. It is the only private residence of a head of state that is open to the public, free of charge.
