White House, President's Library, No. 7
This photograph of the Yellow Oval Room by Frances Benjamin Johnston was taken in 1890 during the Benjamin Harrison administration. The Yellow room is located on the Second Floor of the Executive Mansion and has served as a formal drawing room since First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy's White House restoration. At the time of this photograph, however, the room was a library. In 1850, First Lady Abigail Fillmore received an appropriation from Congress to convert this room into a library, and it remained as such for the next fifty years.
