HOBAN 
ISSUE OF 
‘WHITE 
HOUSE 
HISTORY’ 
IS NOW
AVAILABLE!
 
The James Hoban Commemoration celebrates not only the talented Irishman who designed and built The White House in Washington D.C. between 1792 and 1800, but also all of the immigrant architects, engineers and builders who created the framework ?for the development of the United States in the 231 years since its foundation as an independent federal republic.
ILLUSTRATIONS: A contemporary wax image in The White House Collection (top) is the only representation of Hoban’s appearance in existence; the illustration showing Hoban and Washington surveying progess was produced in 1930 by N.C. Wyeth as part of a railway company’s promotion of tourism to Washington D.C.
