It's the White House, home to US presidents, first ladies, first children, and even first pets! But aren't you curious- why is the house white (and how many gallons of paint keep it that way)? Who built the place? How many rooms are in there and what are they used for? Where does the president work? Where does the first family live? Is there really a bowling alley in the White House?
