The closest match I can think of for your second sample is Engravers' Gothic
Or maybe Sackers Gothic
Also, Gold from Orange Italic's "Luxury Collection"

For a 'rough' ( and hand drawn ) version of Sackers Gothic, you may want to take a look at 'Neo Retro', by Heinrich Lischka..
Oh, and, like Jes�s already suggested, the 'Luxury Collection' not just says, but shouts, big business, to me..
Or, what about 'Engravers ( Roman )'.?
( Or 'Engravers MT' which even comes bundled with certain Microsoft software products.. )
Well, there is always the old, conservative Copperplate. It goes well for presidents I wouldn't give you a Penny for--but that is just my 2 cents worth.

"THE WHITE HOUSE" looks a lot like Plantin Semibold, but isn't quite. (The "W" proportions are off, and the letters aren't quite the right width.) Maybe it's a custom Plantin?
P.S. The "W" from Cochin comes close to this one.
