Green Room, Nixon Administration
This photograph of the Green Room was taken in November 1973 during the administration of Richard M. Nixon. The Green Room is located on the State Floor of the Executive Mansion. It was the first room named after the color of its textiles and has Federal style furnishings. The elegant but relaxed parlor is used for small gatherings, interviews, and teas. The neoclassical marble mantel is one of a pair ordered by President James Monroe from France to be installed in the State Dining Room. During the Theodore Roosevelt renovation of 1902, the mantles were separated and placed in the Green Room and Red Room. Above the mantel hangs a gilded, convex girandole mirror with scones, made about 1820. It was added to the room in 1971.
