The White House is located in Washington, D.C., and serves as the official residence and workplace of the U.S. president.

The White House is a famous landmark in Washington, D.C. It has been the home of every U.S. president since John Adams and serves as the main site for presidential activities and offices. Although the Lincoln Memorial (A) is another important landmark in Washington, D.C., the White House specifically represents the residence and symbol of the U.S. executive branch. In contrast, Mount Vernon (B) and Monticello (C) are historical sites located in Virginia, not in Washington, D.C.
