The Lincoln Sitting Room At The White House
The Lincoln Sitting Room is a small sitting room located on the second floor of the White House.
It was used as the White House telegraph room from 1865 to 1902 (until
the West Wing was built). It is furnished in Victorian-style to match
the bedroom. The overstuffed sofa and matching chair were formerly
furnishings in the Green Room. The Kennedy restoration in 1963 restored it to Victorian-style, and it has been maintained in the same style since.
