The name Executive Mansion was used in official contexts until President Theodore Roosevelt established the formal name by having the de facto name White HouseâWashington engraved on the stationery in 1901.
Thanks to several presidents, the White House still looks much as it did when it was first built. Our fourth president, James Madison (1809-1817), moved quickly after the British burned the White House. During the War of 1812, the British attacked the nation's capital. James and Dolley Madison escaped capture, but enemy troops torched the President's House on August 24, 1814.
