Whiteriver Manor, also known as Whiteriver, White Manor or simply The Manor, is the official residence of the President of Meridon, located along the southern bank of the White River in central Cordelia. It is located within and surrounded by the Southfront Park, Cordelia's largest and centralmost public park. It was commissioned in 1824 by President Claude Bittencourt and completed in 1827, with President Richard Atkinson being the first President to reside in it. It is guarded by members of 1 Regiment Federal and members of the Executive Support Organization and supplemented by the Federal Protective Service and specialized detachments of the Cordelia Metropolitan Police Service.
Commissioned to provide a standardized, secure, and suitable residence from which the President could work and recieve dignitaries by President Claude Bittencourt, the contract for its construction was provided in 1822 to Noël Bélanger. Whiteriver was one of Bélanger's last works before his death. Planning took nearly two years and construction another three and was sourced from the significant-sized central Southfront Park where it is surrounded.
It is the primary and official residence of the President of Meridon and is also used as a colloquialism for the Executive itself. It remains the primary working and residential location of Presidents, though not mandated by law to be used for any such official function.
