China Room, Lyndon B. Johnson Administration

This photograph of the China Room was taken on November 23, 1964 during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration. The room, located on the Ground Floor of the Executive Mansion, has been home to the state service china, glassware, and silverware picked and used by the presidents since 1917. The portrait of First Lady Grace Coolidge has remained in that spot since 1952. Her red dress was a design inspiration when the shelves were lined with red velvet during the Kennedy administration.
