Full Description
The White House was built between 1816 and 1821. It was originally The Clerk of the Chequers House. By 1851 it became the Deputy Store Keepers House. By the first half of the 20th century, it had become the Ordnance Officer's Quarters. The building was extended during this period, to assume its current form, replacing an earlier service wing. During the 1940s the building was known as the Chief Ordnance Officer's Quarters or the Colonel's House. (1)
