John Adams, the 2nd President of the United States, was the first US President to live in the White House.

Which president and his wife were the first occupy the White House?

The White House was built between 1792 and 1800. The first occupants were John Adams (the 2nd President of the USA) and his wife Abigail. The original White House was largely burned by the British in 1814 (during the war of 1812). The occupants of the rebuilt White House were James Monroe (the 5th President of the USA) and his wife Elizabeth. Of course many modifications and additions have been made since that time but Adams is considered the first occupant unless you only want to count from the time the White House was rebuilt - in which case it would be Monroe. Nearly everyone counts Adams as the first resident.


Where did obama live before moving into the white house?

President George Washington did not live in the White House, the capital was in Philadelphia at that time. President John Adams was the first president to live in the White House--then referred to as the Executive Mansion. President Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809) was the first president to spend his entire term in the White House. The President's House in Philadelphia - An enormous mansion for the President (about two-thirds the size of the White House) was begun on Ninth Street in Philadelphia. Washington occupied the Market Street House from November 1790 to March 1797. Adams succeeded Washington as President, and, after declining to occupy the newly completed mansion on Ninth Street, he moved into the Market Street house in March 1797. The Residence Act of 1790 called for the District of Columbia to become the national capital on the first Monday in December, 1800. Adams left Philadelphia in late May, and spent several months on his farm in Massachusetts before moving into the White House on November 1. The Philadelphia house was converted into Francis's Union Hotel, and Mrs. Adams stayed there on her way south from Massachusetts to the new capital.

You probably mean the only two American presidents to be sons of preceding presidents: John Quincy Adams, the 6th President of United States, son of John Adams, the 2nd President and George W. Bush, the 46th President, son of George W. H. Bush, the 41st President. Though when their fathers were presidents, both John Q. Adams and George W. Bush were already adults, so they weren't "in the White House as kids".
