The American White House - the President's Park in Washington - was designed by Irish born architect James Hoban based on the Leinster House designs. The building incorporates many classical Georgian architecture features of that period. The cornerstone of the Washington White House was laid in October 1792, the building sustained damage in 1814 when set on fire by the British army during the 1812/1815 war, & painted white when restored.
