East Room, John F. Kennedy Administration
This photograph of the East Room was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on August 14, 1961, during the John F. Kennedy administration. The East Room is located on the State Floor of the Executive Mansion. The room is the largest room in the White House and is often used as a ceremonial space. The room is painted white and has 18th century French and English-inspired ornate walls and ceiling. To make way for temporary furniture for ceremonies and holiday decorations, the East Room is usually sparsely furnished.
