"Many United States presidential candidates have battled over the years for the privilege of living at the most prestigious address in the country. After reviewing the literature on the history and architecture of the White House, which is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., it is easy to see why. Besides being a spectacular Georgian home, the White House is full of history, seeing more conflict, controversy and transformations than any single president."
