History of Alabama's State Capitol
The building was formerly the residence of the President Jefferson Davis where he lived with his family. It was given the title of the White House in February 1861. However, its tenure as a White house was very short. It ended in the month of May of the same year when the Confederate capital moved to Richmond in Virginia. The white construction is next to a History building, which emphasizes its historical impact.
