In this photograph, taken by David Hume Kennelly, First Lady Betty Ford poses in the Treaty Room on December 24, 1975. The Treaty Room is located on the Second Floor of the Executive Mansion and is used as the president’s private study. Mrs. Ford is wearing a dress designed by Frankie Welch.

This photograph of the Treaty Room was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on May 3, 1962 during the John F. Kennedy administration. The Treaty Room is located on the Second Floor of the White House and is used as the president’s private study where the commander-in-chief can analyze reports, hold private meetings, edit speeches, and host family gatherings. It is one of the most historic rooms in the house, bearing witness to the signing of the peace protocol between Spain and United States in 1898, the Limited Nuclear Test Ban between the United States and the Soviet Union in 1963, and is possibly where President James Monroe composed the Monroe Doctrine. It has also served as the Cabinet Room for various administrations including for presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, and William McKinley. In 1962 First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, along with French interior designer Stéphane Boudin, oversaw the restoration of the Treaty Room including the installation of the deep green wallpaper with a red geometric design inspired by a decorative treatment for the State Rooms during the Andrew Johnson administration.

This photograph, taken on August 28, 1963, shows the Treaty Room of the White House prior to restoration completed during the John F. Kennedy administration. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy collaborated with designer Stéphane Boudin to restore the room to a reception space and late-night conference room, enhanced with historic details from the late 19th-century including chandeliers and furniture from the Ulysses S. Grant administration and a wallpaper with geometric borders suggestive of the style used on the State Floor during the Andrew Johnson administration.

In this photograph, taken by Cecil Stoughton on October 7, 1963, President John F. Kennedy speaks during the signing ceremony for the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in the Treaty Room of the White House. Ratified by the U.S. Senate on September 24, 1963, the treaty allowed underground nuclear tests, but prohibited tests in the water, atmosphere, or outer space. The signers pledged to end the arms race, move to complete disarmament, and protect the environment from nuclear contamination. The ceremony was held shortly after the Treaty Room was restored by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and interior designer Stéphane Boudin. The refurbished room paid homage to late 19th-century splendor and included deep green flocked wallpaper with a geometric border based on a design used for the State Rooms of the White House during the Andrew Jackson administration, a cabinet table, sofa, and chandeliers from the Ulysses S. Grant administration; and notable works of art such as Peter Frederick Rothermel's "The Republican Court in the Days of Lincoln," pictured here on the wall behind President Kennedy.

In this photograph taken by Abbie Rowe, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy opens the newly refurbished Treaty Room, formerly the Monroe Room, on June 28, 1962. Present from left to right: Senator Everett Dirksen, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson; Senator Mike Mansfield, Maureen Hayes Mansfield, Archivist of the United States, and Dr. Wayne C. Grover. At this event, Mrs. Kennedy also accepted the return of a Ulysses S. Grant–era chandelier from the U.S. Capitol Building. Representing the Senate are Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and Everett McKinley Dirksen. The chandelier had once hung in the East Room. The Treaty Room is located on the Second Floor of the White House and has been used as the president’s private study where the commander-in-chief can analyze reports, hold private meetings, edit speeches, and host family gatherings. However, it is one of the most historic rooms in the house, bearing witness to the signing of the peace protocol between Spain and United States in 1898, and the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union in 1963, and it is possibly where President James Monroe composed the Monroe Doctrine. It has also served as the Cabinet Room for various administrations including Ulysses Grant, Rutherford Hayes, and William McKinley.

This photograph of a Victorian period sofa and chair in the Monroe Room, later known as the Treaty Room, was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on October 11, 1961 during the John F. Kennedy administration. These were, like many other pieces chosen for the restored rooms by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, were in poor condition resulting from extended periods of time in White House storage spaces. These pieces were refurbished and placed in the newly restored and renamed Treaty Room.

This photograph of the Treaty Room following its refurbishment and restoration by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on May 3, 1962.

This photographic portrait of First Lady Betty Ford was taken around December 24, 1975 in the Treaty Room by chief White House photographer David Hume Kennerly. Betty Ford earned admiration from openly discussing her treatment for breast cancer, at the time a stigmatized disease, in September 1974. While a devoted housewife, Ford did not shy away from voicing her support of the Equal Rights Amendment, and, later, sharing her own struggles with drugs and alcohol to encourage others to seek treatment. This photograph is part of a collection belonging to former White House Executive Chef Henry Haller. Haller served as executive chef at the White House from 1966-1987.
