Treaty Room, Kennedy Administration

This photograph, taken on August 28, 1963, shows the Treaty Room of the White House prior to restoration completed during the John F. Kennedy administration. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy collaborated with designer Stéphane Boudin to restore the room to a reception space and late-night conference room, enhanced with historic details from the late 19th-century including chandeliers and furniture from the Ulysses S. Grant administration and a wallpaper with geometric borders suggestive of the style used on the State Floor during the Andrew Johnson administration.
