La Maison Blanche, résidence officielle et bureau du président des États-Unis, tire son nom de son apparence caractéristique, mais son appellation n'a pas toujours été évidente. L'histoire de son nom est liée à son architecture, un incendie majeur et des usages populaires avant d'être officiellement adoptée en 1901.1. Une inspiration architecturale et une première appellation (1792-1800)La construction de la Maison Blanche débute en 1792, sous la présidence de George Washington. L'architecte irlandais James Hoban s'inspire du château de Rastignac, une demeure néoclassique française située en Dordogne, ainsi que du Leinster House de Dublin. Le bâtiment est conçu en grès aquia, une pierre grisâtre extraite en Virginie.Initialement, l'édifice est appelé "Executive Mansion", un terme générique qui désigne les résidences des gouverneurs dans plusieurs États américains.2. L'incendie de 1814 et la reconstruction (1814-1817)Pendant la guerre de 1812, le 24 août 1814, les troupes britanniques envahissent Washington D.C. et incendient plusieurs bâtiments officiels, dont l'Executive Mansion. Après ce saccage, la structure est sévèrement endommagée, et la reconstruction s'étale jusqu'en 1817, sous la présidence de James Monroe.Pour masquer les traces de l'incendie et protéger le grès des intempéries, le bâtiment est recouvert d'une épaisse couche de peinture blanche à base de chaux. Cette caractéristique donne naissance au surnom "White House" ("Maison Blanche"), qui commence à être utilisé par le public.3. L'usage populaire et l'officialisation du nom (1817-1901)Tout au long du XIXe siècle, le terme "White House" devient courant dans le langage populaire et dans la presse, même si le gouvernement continue d'utiliser "Executive Mansion" dans les documents officiels.Finalement, en 1901, le président Theodore Roosevelt officialise le nom en faisant inscrire "The White House" sur la papeterie présidentielle et les documents administratifs. Cette décision vise à unifier les références au bâtiment et à ancrer son identité unique.ConclusionLa Maison Blanche doit son nom à un concours de circonstances historiques et esthétiques : son architecture inspirée du style néoclassique, l'incendie de 1814 et la nécessité de la repeindre en blanc. Ce nom, d'abord un simple surnom, s'est imposé dans l'usage courant avant d'être institutionnalisé par Roosevelt en 1901, devenant ainsi un symbole universel du pouvoir américain. Hébergé par Acast.

The rally featured Governor Glenn Youngkin and the entire Republican establishment, including Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earl Sears finally endorsing the former Republican president.2006 was Governor Tim Kaine's first General Assembly session in the Executive Mansion, and at the time lawmakers were focused on a budget battle and a transportation package. But there was one bill that required the DMV to produce a list of people who should be stricken from the list of eligible voters--which some say was a reaction to the Motor Voter Law. Campaigns tend to have political ads that celebrate their candidates or maybe attack an opponent.

About this episode:  Washington City was buzzing with anxiety. It was the middle of May 1864 and no news had arrived from Virginia for days. Then, finally, in flurries, it came - word from the front and it was most welcome. Grant was posed to strike a mortal blow. Readers clutched papers that, in bold print, screamed “Extra.” Unable to concentrate, Congress adjourned for three days. At 10 pm on the evening of May 11th, the President moved out onto the Executive Mansion portico where, before him, a massive crowd sprawled on the lawn. He announced the times as dramatic and, in his high, reedy voice, Mr. Lincoln read a message from Grant, “I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.” And, indeed, it would. To the tune of Union casualties that numbered as many or more as Robert E. Lee had in his Confederate army. This is the story of two more Overland Campaign collisions between Lee and Grant. Two more that continued to bleed both armies. This is the story of the battles at the North Anna and Cold Harbor.           ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: A. P.

Theodore Roosevelt is often thought of as the Rough Rider and the man known for quoting the proverb “Speak softly and carry a big stick….“ Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, met with Edward O'Keefe, CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation and author of the new book called The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt: The Women Who Created a President to discuss another side of T.R.: the five extraordinary women without whom he may never have become the 26th President of the United States. Join Stewart and Ed as they visit Theodore Roosevelt Island, the national memorial located in Washington, D.C.'s Potomac River, and reflect on the man born in New York City who some would call “the conservation president.” Roosevelt was an imperfect man of his time, one born to privilege but who advocated the strenuous life after struggling with ill-health and losing two of his greatest loves, his mother and his first wife, on the same day. We learn about his mother, Martha, a Southern belle with a keen wit, and Alice, his college sweetheart and first wife, who drew him away from science and into politics, including the support of women's suffrage.  We meet T.R.'s older sister, Anna, who would become his trusted advisor and political strategist, and his younger sister, Corinne, would become one of his best promoters. Then we're introduced to First Lady Edith Carow Roosevelt, Theodore's childhood playmate and second wife, who would go on to leave her own mark on the White House both in the role of presidential spouse as well as with a major renovation of the Executive Mansion. Hear more about these five women, an update on the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library being built in North Dakota, and get a view of Theodore Roosevelt Island, in this episode of The White House 1600 Sessions.

The Hunt name still carries weight in North Carolina politics two decades after Governor Jim Hunt left office.  Sen. Rachel Hunt, the daughter of the "Education Governor," started her political career in 2018 when she successfully defeated a powerful House incumbent and four years later she now serves in the Senate.  Now the Democrat from Mecklenburg County is eyeing the Lieutenant Governor position, a seat her father held from 1973-77.   Sen. Hunt talks about her decision to run for office, growing up in the Executive Mansion, working on the family farm in the summers, and how she seems to be following a similar political path of her father.   Skye and Brian also unpack a busy week in the General Assembly, including a controversial women's sports bill, House GOP caucus finds consensus on abortion, executive versus legislative branch legislation, budget update, more statewide candidates, TOTW, and more.   The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, and the NC Pork Council.

“I sit in this old house, all the while listening to the ghosts walk up and down the hallway. At four o'clock, I was awakened by three distinct knocks on my bedroom door. No one was there. Damned place is haunted, sure as shootin'!” --- President Harry S. TrumanSome people firmly believe that the White House, the primary residence of the president of the United States, is haunted by ghosts.Among the spooks allegedly spotted wandering the rooms and corridors of the Executive Mansion are past presidents, first ladies, their children, and various other ghosties and ghouls who just seem to be hanging about.One of its most famous ghosts is Abraham Lincoln who, it seems, was an avid ghost hunter himself.

It's been 10 months since former Governor Ralph Northam handed over the keys to the Executive Mansion to Glenn Youngkin. A new book by former Virginian-Pilot reporter Margaret Edds takes a deeper look at Northam's tenure. Edds' book focuses on how the discovery of a racist photo on Northam's medical school yearbook page nearly cost him his job — but, instead, led to an unusual rebound. VPM News reporter Ben Paviour spoke to Edds about the book.

When Michael Colburn was growing up in St. Albans, he dreamed of becoming a euphonium player in a band. He never imagined that the band would be “The President's Own” United States Marine Band and that he would lead it for a decade, until 2014. As director of the nation's top military ensemble, Colburn served as music adviser to the White House and regularly conducted the Marine Band and Chamber Orchestra at the Executive Mansion and at the presidential inaugurations of former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.Colburn is now returning to Vermont for a very different musical mission. He is taking the baton of the Me2 Orchestra in Burlington, which describes itself as “the world's only classical music organization created for individuals with mental illnesses and the people who support them.” The community orchestra was founded in 2011 by conductor Ronald Braunstein, the first American to win the prestigious Karajan International Conducting Competition in Berlin in 1979. Braunstein was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had to abandon his international conducting career, but he and Caroline Whiddon, co-founder and executive director of the orchestra, have created a stigma-free musical home for others with mental illness. Me2 has received extensive media coverage, including being the subject of a PBS documentary, "Orchestrating Change." Me2 now consists of two orchestras: one in Boston that Braunstein still conducts and the original Burlington ensemble now led by Colburn.Colburn has gone from conducting some of the finest musicians in the world to leading a Vermont group “that really welcomes all musicians without fear of being judged.”“Music can be an avenue of healing and a great resource for many who are struggling with mental issues,” he said.

In 1814, British troops burned down the White House. That fire would be extinguished, and the Executive Mansion would be rebuilt. But another fire smoldered on – a fire that would eventually consume the United States. This is Antebellum America: the decades leading up to the Civil War.This was America's adolescence. The young nation was growing at tremendous speed, forcing its leaders to address fundamental questions about their country's identity and values. Could the individual states put aside their differences to remain united? And could this new country live up to its lofty ideals, especially when it came to issues like slavery or the treatment of Native Americans?One leader shaped this era more than any other: America's reluctant seventh president, Andrew Jackson.Listen ad free with Wondery+.

Synopsis Hold on tight—we're about to cover 150 years of musical—and presidential—history in just 2 minutes! On today's date in 1821, back when James Monroe was president, Beethoven's Second Symphony was performed in Philadelphia at a concert of the Musical Fund Society. That occasion marks the first documented performance of a complete Beethoven symphony in America and occurred when Beethoven was 50 years old and residing in Vienna. In 1853, when Franklin Pierce was in the White House, the Germania Musical Society took Beethoven's Second on its American tour, presenting it in St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Chicago. That 1853 tour marked the first time an entire Beethoven Symphony was performed in the windy city. Additional 19th century “firsts” for the Second occurred over the next two decades in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and San Francisco, during the administrations of James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, and Andrew Jackson. Ulysses S. Grant was president in 1870, when Beethoven's Second debuted in Washington DC, and Grant was still President in 1872, when the Second was the first symphony EVER to be performed in Minneapolis. A hundred years later, in the NINETEEN-Seventies, when Richard Nixon was in the White House, you could hear performances of Beethoven's Second from Maine to Hawaii, all while sitting comfortably in your own “Executive Mansion,” courtesy of your local government-assisted public radio station. If you wish, you may now stand and salute your radio! Music Played in Today's Program Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827) — Symphony No. 2 (New York Philharmonic; Leonard Bernstein, cond.) Sony 61835

New York: Creepy Charge vs Cuomo as AG launches campaign to replace him and a cowboy a catholic and a senator in DC under-reported story thast led to filing of charges in Albany fr a gov who copped a feel? NEW YORK (AP) — New York Attorney General Letitia James plans to run for governor, according to three people directly familiar with her plans who spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday. Background on why today for Cuomo case a misdemeanor that's played full woke - NY {OST" Disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo was charged Thursday with groping a former aide in Albany's Executive Mansion — a crime that could force him to register as a sex offender if he's convicted. A misdemeanor criminal complaint filed in Albany City Court alleges that Cuomo, 63, “did intentionally, and for no legitimate purpose, forcibly place his hand under the blouse shirt of the victim…and onto her intimate body part.” “Specifically, the victims [sic] left breast for the purposes of degrading and satisfying his sexual desire,” it adds. The incident allegedly took place on the afternoon of Dec. 7 on the second floor of the Executive Mansion, the governor's official residence. The name of the alleged victim was redacted from the complaint but a lawyer representing former Cuomo aide Brittany Commisso, 33, acknowledged it's her. The complaint charges Cuomo with forcible touching, which carries a maximum sentence of one year in jail. The alleged evidence against him includes a text message from Cuomo's cell phone, state police aviation records for Dec. 7 and news reports of a press conference that day, state police Blackberry PIN messages, swipe card records from the state Capitol, and Commisso's testimony to the Attorney General's Office.

President Joe Biden is urging voters in Virginia to reject the Republican ticket and return former Governor Terry McAuliffe to the Executive Mansion. Michael Pope reports.

This week the Capital Region saw a tropical storm, the installation of New York's first woman as governor, the tragic drowning of a state trooper, and a call for the attorney general to investigate an alleged leak of confidential information from the state's ethics oversight commission. But none of these headlines came close to the traffic the Times Union saw on its reporting on Captain, former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's dog. The energetic shepherd mix was thrust into the spotlight this week, mere days before National Dog Day. The departing governor, who officially resigned on Monday, left his canine pal at the Executive Mansion—after he moved out. Did he leave the pooch behind for good? State police sources say yes, Cuomo says no. It's the latest in a string of controversy surrounding the former governor that has bled over into the start of Gov. Kathy Hochul's term. On this episode of The Eagle, Times Union Editor-in-Chief Casey Seiler and Capitol Bureau Managing Editor Brendan Lyons discuss Captain's fate, as well as the first steps of the Hochul administration. Also on this episode, business reporter Shayla Colon was looking for a place to live in the Capital Region when she stumbled on a common real estate scam. And then she did what any good reporter would do— investigated it.

Dr. Tom Copeland comes on the show to talk about the explosion near the Kabul airport in Afghanistan. Several U.S. marines are killed after two explosions near the Kabul airport. 24 California students are stranded in Afghanistan. Former governor Cuomo is asking Executive Mansion staff members if they want his dog Captain.

An update on Interpreter John. A discussion on burnout and the exhaustion of empathy. As Gov. Cuomo leaves the Executive Mansion, he has plenty to say to the Attorney General whose report led to his exit, he then ditches his dog. A racehorse at Ellis Park ditches her rider and hits the highway.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the women who has accused embattled New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of sexual harassment is a current staffer named Brittany Commisso. Referred to as "Executive Assistant #1" in State Attorney General Tish James' scathing report released last week, Commisso alleges the governor groped her at the Executive Mansion in November. She has come forward and identified herself this week in an exclusive interview with the Times Union and CBS News.  On this special episode of "The Eagle," we'll hear from Commisso herself, as well as from Capitol Bureau Managing Editor Brendan Lyons, who broke the initial story of Commisso's allegations in April. 

New York Attorney General Letitia James issues a damning report on Gov. Andrew Cuomo's criminal sexual harassment and sexual assault on 11 accusers, then walks away, filing no charge. Is James angling for the Executive Mansion herself and afraid to wield the weapon that takes down the three-term incumbent, creepy Cuomo? If the AG thinks the women are so brave, and women should be believed, where does a woman go to get justice in New York?

Republican candidates stopped in Chester Saturday to rally supporters ahead of a long summer on the campaign trail. They used this as an opportunity to rail against Democratic control and rally their supporters in what they hope will be a competitive race for the Executive Mansion.“How many of yall are ready for a new governor,” Youngkin said to the crowd after taking the stage to ‘Start Me Up' by The Rolling Stones. “Republicans have come together like never before to recognize that we absolutely must and will win this fall. Today is all about recognizing that yes we have work to do and we can do it.”

Although visitors from around the world have the opportunity to visit the White House every year, few kids have the opportunity to have the experience of their parents working in the White House. Children of White House staff get a special look at the inner workings of the Executive Mansion and some even get to know the President and First Family on a personal level. In this episode, Stewart McLaurin interviews author Giovanna McBride about her new book published by the White House Historical Association titled Gigi at the White House.

James Monroe lived a life defined by revolutions. From the battlefields of the War for Independence, to his ambassadorship in Paris in the days of the guillotine, to his own role in the creation of Congress's partisan divide, he was a man who embodied the restless spirit of the age. He was never one to back down from a fight, whether it be with Alexander Hamilton, with whom he nearly engaged in a duel (prevented, ironically, by Aaron Burr), or George Washington, his hero turned political opponent. This magnificent new biography vividly recreates the epic sweep of Monroe’s life: his near-death wounding at Trenton and a brutal winter at Valley Forge; his pivotal negotiations with France over the Louisiana Purchase; his deep, complex friendships with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison; his valiant leadership when the British ransacked the nation’s capital and burned down the Executive Mansion; and Monroe’s lifelong struggle to reckon with his own complicity in slavery. Elected the fifth president of the United States in 1816, this fiercest of partisans sought to bridge divisions and sow unity, calming turbulent political seas and inheriting Washington's mantle of placing country above party. Over his two terms, Monroe transformed the nation, strengthening American power both at home and abroad. Tim McGrath is a two-time winner of the Commodore John Barry Book Award, as well as the author of the critically acclaimed biography "John Barry: An American Hero in the Age of Sail," and "Give Me a Fast Ship: The Continental Navy and America's Revolution at Sea," recipient of the Samuel Eliot Morison Award for Naval Literature.

Jim Hunt was first elected Governor of North Carolina in 1976 when he was just 39 years old. He served four terms in the Executive Mansion, spanning four different decades. During his time in office, Hunt remained a steadfast supporter of public schools and prioritized education policy. In 1984, Hunt also set his sights on the U.S. Senate, and lost a bitter race to longtime Senator Jesse Helms. On this episode of the Politics Podcast from WUNC, Hunt discusses his legacy as a governor, recent Black Lives Matter demonstrations, and a time he hitchhiked to the Midwest.

James Monroe, America’s fifth president and the last chief executive of the Founding Father generation, lived a life defined by revolutions. From the battlefields of the War for Independence, to his ambassadorship in Paris in the days of the guillotine, to his own role in the creation of Congress's partisan divide, he was a man who embodied the restless spirit of the age. He was never one to back down from a fight, whether it be with Alexander Hamilton, with whom he nearly engaged in a duel (prevented, ironically, by Aaron Burr), or George Washington, his hero turned political opponent. Today’s guest, Tim McGrath, author of James Monroe: A life, discusses the epic sweep of Monroe’s life: his near-death wounding at Trenton and a brutal winter at Valley Forge; his pivotal negotiations with France over the Louisiana Purchase; his deep, complex friendships with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison; his valiant leadership when the British ransacked the nation’s capital and burned down the Executive Mansion; and Monroe’s lifelong struggle to reckon with his own complicity in slavery. Elected the fifth president of the United States in 1816, this fiercest of partisans sought to bridge divisions and sow unity, calming turbulent political seas and inheriting Washington's mantle of placing country above party. Over his two terms, Monroe transformed the nation, strengthening American power both at home and abroad.

What was the White House really like in the early part of the 19th century? Always under construction, reconstruction, redecoration or renovation, the President’s house was like a child that could never sit still, or like a living organism changing constantly over time. In addition to logistical and domestic details like how the chandeliers worked and when the first toilet flushed within the walls of the Executive Mansion, the story of the White House in these years goes hand-in-hand with political and personal events of the first families that lived there.  This special bonus episode continues the story of the White House begun in Episode 30 of the main podcast. In this “Off Topic” riff, you’ll encounter the first Presidential mummy, surging mobs of Andrew Jackson supporters ripping pieces out of the drapes, a Presidential hairstyle 140 years ahead of its time, a 1400 pound wheel of stinky cheese, an epidemic of diarrhea with a grim body count, and a succession of feckless, hard-drinking, hard-luck chief executives who grow increasingly more intoxicated as the Civil War nears. The White House of the antebellum period not only proves to be a dangerous place with its toxic water and diseased mosquitoes, but also a sad and melancholy one, with personal and family tragedy stalking the halls of power.

President Lincoln gave a copy of the Gettysburg Address to each of his two private secretaries, John Nicolay and John Hay. According to Nicolay, Lincoln had written the first part of the speech on Executive Mansion stationery, and the second page in pencil on lined paper right before the dedication on November 19, 1863. Matching folds are still evident on the two pages of the Nicolay draft, supporting the eyewitness' argument that Lincoln kept it in his coat pocket before the ceremony.
