Bill, how many realize that if it weren't for us Canadians (ignore the fact that we weren't actually Canadians back then), the Whitehouse wouldn't be white?
We (okay, the Brits) set it ablaze during the War of 1812, and in their quick-fix to get it up and running again, the Americans simply white-washed it. It's been white ever since.
It just wouldn't sound so impressive were it the Bluehouse. Or the Beigehouse. Or the Fuschahouse.
you're welcome, frank
