This color photograph, taken by National Geographic Society staff, depicts the Lincoln Bedroom, located on the Second Floor of the White House, as it appeared during the administration of President John F. Kennedy. Previously used as an office and Cabinet Room, the room became a bedroom in the family quarters during the 1902 Roosevelt renovation. The high-back bed, known as the Lincoln Bed, was purchased for the White House by First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln. Despite its purchase during the Lincoln administration, the bed was probably never used by President Abraham Lincoln.
