Queens' Sitting Room

Queens' Sitting Room

The Queens' Sitting Room is a small sitting room located on the second floor of the White House. It was used as part of the president's offices until 1902 when the West Wing was built. The room became a sitting room for guests in the Queens' Bedroom (then called the Rose Bedroom or Pink Bedroom) in 1902. After the Kennedy restoration in 1963 restored it to Victorian style, the room has remained essentially the same ever since.

Lady Bird Johnson enjoyed this room's privacy and used it as a retreat when she had work that required more concentration than she could find at her desk in her bedroom.
