Green Room Fireplace, Kennedy Administration
This photograph of the Green Room fireplace was taken by Bates Littlehales in March 1962, during the John F. Kennedy administration. Atop the intricately carved mantel is the Denière et Matelin gilded bronze mantel clock depticting the Carthaginian general Hannibal. On either side of the mantel are a pair of bronze-doré vases, likely purchased in 1817 during the James Monroe administration. The Green Room is located on the State Floor of the Executive Mansion. It was the first room named after the color of its textiles and has Federal style furnishings. The elegant but relaxed parlor is used for small gatherings, interviews, and teas.
