Question

George Washington died in _______, a year before the House was completed. He was the only president who never got the chance to live in the White House.

Answer 1

George Washington died in 1799, a year before the White House was completed, and he was the only president who didn’t reside there.

Step-by-step explanation:

George Washington died in 1799, a year before the White House was completed. He was indeed the only president who never had the chance to live in the White House. Washington was a pivotal figure in American history, serving as a Virginia planter, a delegate to the House of Burgesses, and a delegate to the Continental Congress. He was chosen as the Commander of the Continental Army during the American Revolution and later became the first President of the United States. His presidency set a neutral foreign policy and warned against European entanglements and political parties in his Farewell Address. Sadly, he passed away before the completion of the President's House, also known as the White House, which was burned by the British during the War of 1812 but later reconstructed, as depicted in George Munger's painting after the war.
