We started our tradition to buy Lego and build it together on Christmas day. This year, we chose the White House design from their Architecture line. This set contains 1,483 pcs and it took us about 8 hours to finish it (after 4 hours we took a break and finished it the next day). It can be confusing sometimes, some pieces are soo small and they look so much alike but that’s also why it’s so exciting. I specifically enjoyed building the walls and roof.. and how cute are those trees!! 🤩 This has been a great hit for us and we’re looking forward to build our next one.

My 12 year old son has been wanting the US White House for many years now. We finally broke down and bought it since we saw the real White House in person. We even bought several of the recent presidents to add to the completed project. My son built it alone, but was determined and persevered to complete it in a couple of hours. The architecture series is definitely more challenging than the regular sets and was a lot of fun for my son to build.

A joyful achievement

I’ve had this set for a few years now but I can still remember the fun of constructing it. It has a very good build and it’s worth it for the pieces. It was entertaining slightly challenging but it looks great on its shelf. In the set there are no huge mistakes pointing out and it’s 100% worth it for the money. If you want some great big set that doesn’t repeat too much then this is for you. Below is a picture of its size, parts, and both sides.

Cool set and shipped well!

I grabbed this since it is being retired. I haven’t out it together yet, but the design looks great. Also wanted to comment on the shipping. Often Walmart shipping results in huge boxes that get squashed, including theContents. This was shipped perfectly! The box was a good size and they stuffed with paper so it was t likely to get squashed.

Excellent for displaying

I had this on one of my wish lists, so got this as a Christmas present (2021) and so very happy to receive it.It was a quick build, and of course, like all my lego builds I savoured it as much as I could. It probably can be put together in about 1-2 hours if you did it in one go. The pieces comes in 5 sets of packages and a small instruction booklet.I don’t know why, but I was expecting an internal layout of the White House, but like all Lego Architecture builds, it's just a miniature version of the real life build, for display and outer beauty only.I would never say that the play experience is high on lego products that are not meant to be played with, and this one is one of them. I can’t see it to be used for anything else other than being displayed.

It does look spectacular and I would highly recommend this to your collection whether you collect just buildings, Architecture or other themes.

Great Display Piece

This Lego set is a model of the White House which is world famous for being the principal residence and workplace of the President of the United States. This set includes not only the residence section of the White House complex, but also includes depictions of the East Wing and West Wing.I found that this model does a great job of representing the White House in Lego form. The assembly itself was mostly enjoyable and it took me somewhere between three and four hours to complete the set. It is definitely targeted toward the older demographic more suitable for teenagers and adults and is strictly a display piece.The only issue I had with this is that the two wings are not very securely attached to the main base which can made handling and moving the completed model ... MoreThis Lego set is a model of the White House which is world famous for being the principal residence and workplace of the President of the United States.

But, as mentioned above, it is not too big of an issue as this is for display, not playing.Overall, this is a great and detailed model of the White House in Lego and I would recommend this to those that enjoy these more detailed Lego sets.

Great Mini White House

This set was my second LEGO set to build, and it was pleasantly challenging. I built this set over the course of a weekend some months back, and the end result was a great miniature version of the White House. I’ve had it displayed in my home for months now and feel extremely satisfied with it still. If you’re a fan of iconic US landmarks, this is one to get. It looks great, and I really liked how it actually closes all around. It doesn’t try to be a playable set in the traditional sense exactly so much as a lovely display that was fun to build and to look at. Also, one fun thing to note is that the interior as you build has some red and blue pieces, nodding to the colors of the flag of the US. I liked that quite a bit.

LEGO Architecture Collection: The White House

I received this LEGO set in late December 2021. Wasn't looking for something to invest a large amount of time and money into something, just something to work on every once in a while to keep myself occupied. This specific set isn't very large all put together but contains a very surprising amount of small pieces. Putting the LEGO set together wasn't any mental strain, in fact it was quite relaxing to assemble this LEGO set overtime. Once I inevitably finished I was satisfied with the amount of entertainment this LEGO set had bought me for this price it it listed at. Some of the pros of this specific LEGO set is that it was a place I could go if I was bored to spend some time doing something engaging. I also believed that it wasn't overly easy where I could finish ... MoreI received this LEGO set in late December 2021.

I also believed that it wasn't overly easy where I could finish it in less than twenty mins, but a considerable amount of time is needed to complete this. the con of this LEGO set include the numerous small pieces that are very easy to lose if you are not careful. Other than that issue minor issue, I sincerely enjoyed this product and suggest this product to any LEGO fan.

Patience, persistence, payoff - a grand display!

Pros: Stunning reproduction of the most iconic and polarizing structure in American history. Especially for LEGO! White House facts and pictures in the instructions are nice.Cons: Tiniest LEGO bricks I have ever assembled. Lots of flats and potentially lost miniature pieces. This is a display piece ONLY - assemble it, set it down, walk away. The slightest movement could spell disaster; don't ask me how I know.I grew up playing with LEGO. This set was a challenge for me not because of the set complexity or confusing instructions, but rather because it's three decades later and my hands and fingers and eyes and brain are all older, bigger/weaker/foggier, and far less dextrous and nimble as they once were.Assembly time = ~6 hoursIf you really want an exercise in ... MorePros: Stunning reproduction of the most iconic and polarizing structure in American history.

That added an entire day to the build time!Overall I am thrilled with the final assembly and display. It was a real trip back in time to the bygone days of hour after hour spent elbows deep in hundreds of LEGO bricks and years of my childhood imagination. The fragility of the finished piece means I'll be hesitant to even dust this set.

We All Love It !

The best thing about the architecture set is my wife appreciate the beauty of it. This set can be displayed either front or the back of the building (just move the printed tiles that says White House) because it’s just beautifully designed. Me and the kids had a freedom to display it in non Lego area of the house. This is our first architecture set and maybe not the last. We all Love the building experience, thank you Lego for the printed tiles. It’s a bit pricy for a set that has no minifigures so my kids have an issue with that. And when buying Lego sets, sets with minifigures always win.
