The White House[1] in Tite Street, Chelsea was James Whistler's private residence, designed with E. W. Godwin, 1877–8. Its construction, as well as the legal case against John Ruskin bankrupted Whistler.
Whistler moved there from a house in Cheyne Row. Whistler's bankruptcy in 1879 forced the sale of the house along with the rest of the painter's effects. The buyer of the house, an art critic, made changes that Whistler and Godwin deplored. The White House was demolished in the 1960s.
