This photograph of the Pineapple Sitting Room was taken by Robert Knudsen on August 28, 1963, during the John F. Kennedy administration. The Pineapple Sitting Room and accompanying Pineapple Bedroom are located on the Third Floor of the White House. In 1963 First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy oversaw the restoration of the two rooms, including the installation of light green Japanese silk wallpaper. The room got its name from the pineapple-shaped finials on the two mid-19th century beds located in the companion bedroom.
