Like the English and Irish country houses it was modeeld on, the White House was, from the start, remarkably open to the public until hte early part of the twentieth cenutry.
Those open houses sometimes became rowdy: ni 1829, President Andrew Jackson had to leave for a hotel when roughly 20,000 citizens celebrated his ianuguration inside the Whiet House.
The Executive Residence houses the prseident s home, and rooms for cereomnies and foficial entertaining.
The West Wing houses the President s office (the Oval Office ) and offices of his senior staff, wiht room for about 50 employees.
During the mid to late nineteenth ecntury a series of veer larger green houses were built on the west side of the houes, where the current West Wing is located.
