This six-story Sandstone structure was meant to command respect for the nation from citizens and foreign visitors. Construction took place from 1792 - 1800 and it was rebuilt by Hoban following the fire of 1814. The assembled White House model stands 8.8" (22.4cm) wide on a base with printed name label and includes a booklet with facts about the building, its construction and its history.
Well, I bought this for my 9 year old grandson and he finished it in a day. Sent me pictures and was thrilled. He loved it and was very proud of completing it. I love Legos. My son played with them when he was a child and they still make a wonderful product. This series is also wonderful in the exposure it gives to children of famous international buildings.
I bought this LEGO for my granddaughter who loves to build things. She handled this in a morning and is 9 years old. My only complaint is that I did not realize the finished product was so small. I am not sure what I expected, but it was such a small replica and seemed like a lot of money for the small size. That is my only complaint.
