Entrance Hall, John F. Kennedy Administration

This photograph of the Entrance Hall was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on May 7, 1962, during the John F. Kennedy administration. Located on the State Floor of the White House, the Entrance Hall welcomes visitors arriving through the North Portico to the Executive Mansion. On the floor, between the central columns, are bronze stars that commemorate the Theodore Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman renovations in 1902 and 1948-1952.
