Who was the first president to invite a black man to the white house?
It cannot be said with certainty that Frederick Douglass was the first African American invited to the White House. Certainly Douglass was the first African American **leader** invited for a formal interview, or audience, with the President.
Which African American leader was invited to the White House as a dinner guest in 1901?
Booker T. Washington
Which first lady decorate the White House first time?
Abigail Adams was the first lady to live in the White House. I expect that she did some decorating.
First president to use electric buls in white house?
Electricity was first used in the White House in 1891. The president of that time was Benjamin Harrison. Apparently, he and his First Lady feared electrocution and always had a member of the Presidential staff turn the lights on and off.
Is the White House the oldest public building in Washington DC?
The White House as we know it was completed first, but it's really a toss up as to whether the White House or the Capitol can be considered the oldest. Construction of the White House began in 1792 and of the Capitol in 1793. John Adams moved into the White House on or about November 1, 1800; the first session of Congress to take place in the Capitol began on November 17, 1800. Construction on both buildings continued for many years. The Commandant's House at the Marine Barracks in southeast DC is said to be "the oldest public building in continuous use in the nation's capital," but it was not completed until 1806.
