White House Complex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The White House Complex showing location of the West Wing, Rose Garden, West Colonnade, Executive Residence, East Colonnade, Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, and East Wing.
The central Executive Residence, the original White House building, was built 1792-1800. The east and west colonnades were designed by Thomas Jefferson and built in 1803. In 1859 the East Colonnade was dismantled. The East Wing and West Wing were constructed in 1902, and a modified version of the east colonnades was constructed in 1902 on the same foundations of Jefferson's 1803 original.
