Treaty Room Mantel Inscription
This photograph of the Treaty Room mantel inscription was taken by Bates Littlehales in April 1962, during the John F. Kennedy administration. The inscription, carved during the 1902 Theodore Roosevelt renovation, reads: "This room was first used for meetings of the Cabinet during the administration of President Johnson. It continued to be so used until the year MCMII. Here the treaty of peace with Spain was signed."
