My famous structure is the white house and it is located on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC, United States.
The White House was built over two centuries ago. The White House was built in October of 1792 and wasn’t even fully finished in 1800. This building has been remodeled. I find my structure to be a shell. The reason for that is because it is hollow in the inside. But yet again every house is hollow on the inside.
The White House always changes because each and ever president can changes what ever they wont in the White House and out. For example the floor plan of the White House before the 1902 remodeling looked like this
The White House right now has 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, 6 levels, 412 doors, 147 windows, 28 fireplaces, 8 staircases, and 3 elevators. I think this is the biggest house there have ever been. The White House requires 570 gallons of paint to cover the outside.
I find my structure so unique because every president can express their individuality by changing as many parts of the White House that they want. I also find my structure unique because it survived 2 giant fires in the war of 1812. Another way my structure is unique is because they can host up to 1000 people for dinner. These are 2 pictures that show how big each fire was.
I think the white House purpose is to be a home and an office for the president at the time. It’s also a home for the presidents co-workers too. I think the form of the White house does suit the function. I think this because the president needs a place to live with his family and the president needs a office and needs a place for his//her co-workers.
