Who was the first to live in the White House?

As the country gets set to commemorate Presidents Day, it’s time to reflect on the most famous address in the world: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington.

That’s the White House -- the president’s official residence in the nation’s capital.

The first president, George Washington, chose the location in 1791, but never lived there.

John Adams and his wife, Abigail, were the first occupants of the President’s House, moving into the unfinished structure in 1800.

Fourteen years later, British troops burned it to the ground during the War of 1812.

The North Portico was built in 1829 under President Andrew Jackson.

Construction of the Oval Office -- the president’s work quarters -- took place in 1909 when Howard Taft was president as part of a project to expand the executive wing.
