The East Room of the White House is the largest and most formal space in the executive mansion, and this c1904 view shows it in the period when Theodore Roosevelt was in office and the building was undergoing major changes. The Detroit Publishing Company, a firm known for its hand-colored and black-and-white views of American cities, landscapes and landmarks, made the photograph as part of a broad catalog of sites. The room was used for receptions, ceremonies and large public gatherings, and its décor reflected the Beaux-Arts taste of the era. The record notes that the caption data is unverified, so details of the exact date are best read as approximate.
