Best Answer

In early days before electricity, the kitchen was always a separate building. This was because they had to use fire to cook with, and if the kitchen caught fire, they didn't want the whole house to burn down. Also, in the southern US, it gets pretty hot, so the kitchen is separate to avoid heating up the whole house like an oven.

Where did George Washington Live after he wasn't in the White House any longer?

George Washington never lived in the White House, as it had not yet been built when he was President. After his term in office, he returned to his home at Mount Vernon, VA.


Why didn't George Washington live in the White House?

Washington could not have lived at the White House because it had not been built yet at the time of his Presidency. However, it's not quite accurate to say that he lived at Mount Vernon "instead" of the White House. The nation's first capital was New York, and it was then moved to Philadelphia. Washington lived in an executive mansion in both cities while serving as President. So Mount Vernon never really functioned as Washington's White House. Of course, just like Reagan had his ranch in California and Bush had his ranch in Texas, even while they were primarily living at the White House, Washington always retained his "original" home of Mount Vernon, and he returned there when he could.
