The Working White House: Rockwood Peyton

Rockwood Peyton vacuuming the Blue Room, 1983. After vacuuming, Rockwood Peyton might have used a small push broom to brush the wool nap in the same direction. During the Eisenhower administration, the White House residence staff carefully walked around the carpets, so as not to disturb the brush finish.
