Selected by President George Washington to design and build the President's House, Hoban would go on to create one of the most famous and recognizable buildings in the world.

Join Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, as he travels to Hoban's birthplace and retraces the young Irishman's journey from County Kilkenny to Dublin, and discovers the architectural styles and designs that influenced Hoban before he set sail across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World.
