why the White House is white? The story I was told is that in 1812 when
England was at war with America, the British captured the city, and
some of the buildings, including the Capitol and the house of the

fire, the brown stone walls of the President’s home were painted white –
and it has been “The White House” ever since. 10. It is easy to find

“Avenues” and are numberd, for example, 1st Avenue, 2nd Avenue, etc.,
the streets going east and west are called “Streets” and are also numbered.
