No.

It was burnt,then painted with white wash to cover the burn and smoke marks.
After that it started to be called "The Whitehouse".



Truth is that it a myth.

Originally called President's Palace, Presidential Mansion or President's House.
Teddy Roosevelt was the first Pres to have stationery engraved with "White House–Washington" in 1901.
My people burnt it down, had dinner there too !
