Iconic view of the White House from the South Lawn, the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States of America. The neoclassical facade with semicircular portico and Ionic columns overlooks the perfectly manicured green lawn. Built between 1792 and 1800, the White House has housed every American president since John Adams. The American flag flying on the roof indicates the president presence in the building. This symbol of American executive power is one of the most recognizable monuments in the world, attracting millions of visitors each year.
