The Green Room is one of the formal parlors on the State Floor of the White House, where the president and first lady received small groups of guests before and during official functions. Its name comes from the green silk and furnishings that have decorated it over the years, though the exact scheme changed with each administration. This print comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of news photographs taken mainly in the early 20th century, so it offers a glimpse of how the room looked during that period. The record does not give a date, so the furnishings and arrangement are worth comparing with other photographs of the room from the same era.
