When the president’s house was rebuilt, the remaining walls and the new exterior were painted white, thus the name White House.

Bumping it up.



Thanks for the one answer..

I have found this out, it may help with the order of the words... (This tells us what came first)



When were gas lights installed in the White House? [gaslights, gas lighting] In 1848 under James K. Polk [BLSWH 225]



And,



He installed the first central heating system. Martin Van Buren in the 1830's. [BLSWH 197] A primitive system was installed by Madison, but after the White House was burned, no system replaced it until 1840. [x:White House, first central heating system]

 

[Jim Reeves]

If you change word 13 from "lamp" to "lamps", and add another word, "the" ,this could work:



The first central heating system was installed and gas lamps replaced oil lamps and candles in the White House during President Polk's time in office.

Unless it is a typo, the numbered words have to stay in their location. We came up with your sentence as well. It very well may be a typo....

Good Luck.
