Doorway to the Yellow Oval Room from the Center Hall
This photograph of the doorway to the Yellow Oval Room as seen from the Second Floor Center Hall was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on May 8, 1962, during the John F. Kennedy administration. Visible are George Catlins paintings of Native Americans, borrowed by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy from the National Gallery of Art. Also shown are a settee and two chairs from the suite of Philadelphia seating furniture donated by the Americana Foundation. The Center Hall is located on the Second Floor of the Executive Mansion and connects the East and West Sitting Halls. The West Sitting Hall is recognized for its grand, arched window and serves as a comfortable and quiet location for the first family to relax.
