Replicate the home to the nation's Head of State.
There are
few structures in the United States with the history and reverence of
The White House, designed by James Hoban. On July 16, 1792, President
George Washington chose this James Hoban design from six competing
designs from renowned architects. This six-story Sandstone structure was
meant to command respect for the nation from citizens and foreign
visitors. Construction took place from 1792 - 1800 and it was rebuilt by
Hoban following the fire of 1814. The assembled White House model
stands 9" (22 cm) wide on a base with printed name label and includes a
booklet with facts about the building, its construction and its history.
