James Hoban - Selected Work

Selected Work

Little has been published to catalogue Hoban's architectural work. Considering his stature as the architect of the White House, the number of his landmark buildings that have been lost is surprising.

• Charleston County Courthouse, 82-86 Broad Street, Charleston, SC (1790–92). A likely model for the White House's main facade.

• The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. - (1792–1800). Following the 1814 burning of the White House, Hoban rebuilt the Southern Portico for President James Monroe (1824), and the Northern Portico for President Andrew Jackson (1829).
