This photograph of the Blue Room was taken around 1901 and shows the Neo-Georgian, or Colonial Revival, decor of the William McKinley administration just prior to the Theodore Roosevelt Renovation. The Blue Room is located on the State Floor of the Executive Mansion and is famous for its oval shape, central location, and views of the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial through the South Portico windows. This photograph was shot looking east. Today, in between the fireplace and the window is a doorway leading to the Green Room.
