Which word(s) should be capitalized in the sentence: "I plan to meet the president at the white house."?

Back

white house

Answer explanation

Both white and house should be capitalized, in this case, since they are referring to a specific building. It's not just any old house painted white. It is the White House, where presidents historically reside.

President does not need to be capitalized, in this case, because it is not paired with a name as a title, like President Biden.
