The East Room is the largest formal space in the White House, and it has hosted nearly every kind of gathering the executive residence has seen, from state funerals to wedding receptions and press conferences. Built in the 1800s as a ballroom-sized hall, it was originally intended for public receptions and became a setting for the nation's most solemn moments, including the lying-in-state of several presidents. Its gilded decor and large crystal chandeliers reflect the rebuilding and redecoration done over the decades, and the room remains one of the most recognizable interiors in the country.
