4. The White House

   Outside Visit The White House is a neoclassical white sandstone building covering over 73,000 square meters, consisting of the main residence along with the East and West Wings. It serves as both the workplace and official residence of every U.S. president since John Adams, and has become a powerful symbol of the American government. Many of the nation's most important legislative decisions are signed and announced by the president within its walls. George Washington, the founding father of the United States, once shared his vision for the presidential residence—emphasizing that it should not be a palace or a symbol of luxury, because those who work there are ultimately public servants of the nation.
