Christmas with the Johnson Family - Photo 2
A gingerbread cottage decorated the State Dining Room for President Lyndon B. Johnson's family in 1968. It was gifted to the White House by Edward E. Shapiro of Bedford Hills, New York. It is one of the earliest known to have been placed on the mahogany console table in front of the gilded pier mirror, where the back of the gingerbread can be viewed in the reflection.
