Green Room, John F. Kennedy Administration

This photograph of the Green Room decorated with red flowers was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on December 12, 1961, during the John F. Kennedy administration. The Green Room is captured prior to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy's refurbishment and restoration of the State Floor. 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.
