I remember seeing a photograph of a section of the White House facade that was being repaired. The sandstone walls are a yellowy cream color that, while attractive, was also quite jarring.

IMO, the Brits did us a favor.

I must see if I can track that photo down!

As a kid I was given a present of Brady photos - I almost fainted at seeing a photo of Dolly Madison! Admittedly very elderly but she had on her little dustcap and so took me back to the Revolution.
