Redecorated East Room, 1902

Redecorated East Room, 1902

Created in 1902.

Little but the windows, chandeliers, and pier tables remained the same in the East Room after Roosevelt's redecoration. Twenty-two foot high ceilings, rectangle designed paneling on the walls, red marble mantles, yellow draperies, and a polished wood floor made the room look far different than it had with President Ulysses S. Grant's decorations.
