Politicians' speeches were as full of hot air in 1760 as they are today. Cooling might have been a higher priority than heat.]

Heat in the old houses and buildings was a matter of heating the spaces used most. Remember that running water wasn't present in most homes as today and many of the homes weren't finished inside with materials subject to degrade quickly so letting the house drop below freezing didn't cause any more damage than letting your shed get cold. People going to town would come home to a truly cold house.

White House Trivia

• There are 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, and 6 levels in the Residence. There are also 412 doors, 147 windows, 28 fireplaces, 8 staircases, and 3 elevators.

Another page notes that the Capital Building's old senate chamber had four fireplaces.

Prior to 1885 the majority of homes in America were heated with wood burning brick fireplaces and derivatives of the cast iron Franklin Stove invented in 1742.

George Washinton was the first Constitutional President, but he was not the first president in America. Old George wasnt elected president until 1789, 6 years after the revolutionary war. Everybody failed this History test. Look up John Hason.

I do believe has was born on US soil. The rub comes from him declaring foreign citizen ship to get money for college. Hence the reason we know squat about his college days.
