White House
That the White House was under fire during the battle for the Maas Bridge was clearly visible from the many bullet holes on the façade. They were removed during the restoration, but a large impact on the left, on the Wijnhaven side, remains.

First skyscraper of Europe and Rotterdam

The five White House statues, Seafaring and Progress on the Wijnhaven side, Agriculture and Industry on the Eastside, Trade on the Wijnstraat side still look beautiful.

The statue Labour did not survive 14 May 1940, it stood on the Southside. It was later replaced by Seafaring.

It was also one of the few buildings in central Rotterdam to survive the German bombing campaigns of World War II.

The White House is featured in the game Battlefield V.

It takes place during the Battle of Rotterdam, which itself is part of the Battle of the Netherlands in May 1940. The White House
is only featured in one of the two maps called "Rotterdam", which is the one before the Rotterdam Blitz happened.
