Treaty Room, Jimmy Carter Administration

This photograph of the Treaty Room was taken by National Geographic Service photographers in March 1979 during the Jimmy Carter administration. The Treaty Room, located on the Second Floor of the Executive Mansion, has held many names and purposes for presidents over the years. This photograph captures First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy's 1962 restoration of the room to resemble Ulysses S. Grant's Cabinet Room, complete with Victorian furnishings purchased by President Grant, his large cabinet table at center, and rich, Victorian-inspired wallpaper.
