Much like your own apartment complex, this DC residence has a pool, tennis courts, a jogging track, even a movie theater and a bowling lane. Only thing is, this is a private residence, and it's called the White House. The Visitor Center describing many features of the White House, including architecture, first families and furnishings is located at the southeast corner of 15th and E streets, and includes fascinating details about this national destination. The center is open seven days a week from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. Construction on the White House began in 1792 with George Washington as the US's first head of state, but he never lived in the house. President John Adams and his family were the first to reside there, and the house has undergone various changes during that time to personalize it to the residents. This home is an incredible phenomenon, with 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, and six levels. Five full time chefs serve the residents and their guests, and the kitchen has the capacity to serve 140 for dinner and 1,000 for appetizers. The name of the presidential home has changed over the years, from Executive Manision and President's Palace to its current name, the White House, in 1901 by President Theodore Roosevelt. Self-guided tours with ten or more people can be scheduled more than a month in advance and the request for the tour must be submitted to your congressional representative. As the only private residence of a head of state to be open to the public, open houses have been scheduled since President Thomas Jefferson's time in 1805. See the White House website for further details.
