I know Tyler didn't. Filmore. johnson, chester arthur didn't for a period of time if i remember correctly. teddy roosevelt didn't during his first term...i don't know why. truman didn't for a while because roosevelt died in office. lyndon johnson didn't because kennedy was assinated. i think i'm missing a couple more.

Tyler, Fillmore, Arthur and Johnson were the only ones I was looking for though, the others eventually got VP's.

TR didn't because he was VP when McKinley was assasinated in 1901 and TR became President.

George Washington. Served out of New York if I'm not correct.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, he served out of Philadelphia, as did John Adams for a short stint until the White House was finished. The White House, incidentally, was not originally white, but was painted white to cover up the burn marks from a fire
