Which president was in office when electricity was first installed in the White House?

• Benjamin Harrison:Although the White House was built in 1792, electricity was not installed until Benjamin Harrison's presidency in 1891. Few people at the time had enough faith in electric lighting to use it exclusively as its use was barely a decade old. The relatively new method of illumination was used in limited capacity and was initially intended only to act as a supplement to gaslight. Electricity was so new at the time that President Harrison and First Lady Caroline Harrison refused to even touch the light switches for fear of electrocution. Instead, the White House staff was in charge of turning the lights on and off.
