Captioned simply as the "Old Red Room," this view records one of the State Rooms of the White House in an earlier arrangement. The room takes its name from the red silk that has covered its walls in various forms since the early 1800s, and it was used for receptions, teas, and small gatherings. Its furnishings changed as administrations and restorations came and went, so older views like this one show a decor that later renovations would replace. The caption card does not record a date, but comparing the room with later photographs shows how much its appearance shifted over the decades.
