This photograph of the Center Hall looking east was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on May 7, 1962, during the John F. Kennedy administration. Sister Parish, interior decorator and socialite, arranged the furniture in small intimate conversational groupings. Flanking the doors leading to the Grand Staircase are two halves of a large Chinese Coromandel screen. The Center Hall is located on the Second Floor of the Executive Mansion and connects the East and West Sitting Halls.
