| In 1909, Rafael Weill & Company moved to a new, terra-cotta faced structure after its original store was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. |
 |
| The gleaming white facades of the 1909 building were wholly appropriate to the store's name; though the building became a icon in San Francisco, the store spread across the block to Grant Street in various annexes and additions. |
 |
| Like its competitor, The City of Paris, The White House was known for its french atmosphere. In fact he store bore more than just a passing resemblance to the great Parisian department stores like "Au Bon Marché." |
