The cornerstone of the White House was laid on Oct.12,1792 - the 300th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of the Western Hemisphere. But it wasn't until November 1800 that second President *John Adams* (1797-1801) and his wife Abigail moved in. When the Adamses arrived, much of the house was disheveled from ongoing construction - most notably the East Room. Since there was no plumbing of any sort, servants had to lug water into the house from a spring in Franklin Park, five city blocks away. There were no bathrooms, and an agitated Mrs. Adams complained that "we had not the least fence, yard or other convenience without, and the great unfinished audience room, I made a drying room of - nor were there enough lusters or lamps, so candles were stuck here and there for light - neither the chief staircase nor the outer steps were completed, so the family had to enter the house by temporary wooden stairs and platform."
