Monroe Room, John F. Kennedy Administration

This photograph of the Treaty Room, also known as the Monroe Room, was taken around 1961 during the John F. Kennedy 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 the room as a sitting room before First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy restored it back to Ulysses S. Grant's Cabinet Room. Today the room is used as a private study for the president and is often redecorated with each administration.
