We all heard of the famous White House in Washington, home of the President of the USA. Not many of us really know why it is white. The story goes that the original building was set on fire by the British during the War for Independence. Some time later, coats of white paint were applied to cover the marks on the walls. The building has remained this colour since then as a part of American history. What colour was the building before the War?

Мы все слышали про знаменитый Белый Дом в Вашингтоне, дом призедента США. Немногие из нас почему же он белый. История гласит, что первоначальное здание было подождем англичанами вовремя Войны за Независимость. Некоторое время спустя, был пременен слой белой краски, чтобы скрыть отпечатки на стенках. В здании сохранился этот цвет с тех пор, как часть американской истории. Какого цвета было здание до войны?
