White House

PRINTED KIT - CUT, FOLD, GLUE! This model comes unassembled, delivered flat-packed in a large envelope.

What's inside? 12 sturdy A4 size paper sheets with the artwork, cutting and scoring lines printed on. You will need to cut, score, fold and glue the parts in order to assemble the model according to the set-up instructions which come with the kit.

Things which are not included, but you'll need in order to assemble the model: time & patience, a hobby knife, a ruler, a cutting mat or hard surface to work on, white glue (PVA). Some other things might be helpful: a pointed stylus, tweezers and scissors. See what tools we recommend.

This model will require more than one sitting to build it. We advise to pause between different stages as you work, especially when you come to gluing. The white glue softens the paper and it may lead to misshapen parts if you do not allow them to dry well before proceeding further with assembling. Click here to watch our paper model building tips.

The White House, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States.

The White House was designed by Irish-born architect James Hoban and was built between 1792 and 1800. The first president to occupy the White House was John Adams in 1800. Its design was selected in a competition, and it reflects the neoclassical style popular at the time, influenced by the Palladian style.

The building is made of white-painted Aquia Creek sandstone. It has three main parts: the Executive Residence (the central portion), the West Wing (location of the Oval Office, the Cabinet Room, and the Situation Room), and the East Wing (which includes additional office space).

Over the years, the White House has been the scene of numerous historical events and has undergone significant renovations and expansions. After being burned by the British Army during the War of 1812, it was reconstructed. The West Wing has seen several modifications, including the addition of the Oval Office in 1909.
