This photograph was taken on February 6, 1989 during a surprise party for Vice President Dan Quayle. The party was held in a reception room outside the vice president's ceremonial office in the Old Executive Office Building. While the Office of the Vice President is primarily based in the Old Executive Office Building (later renamed the Eisenhower Executive Office Building), vice presidents also work from offices in the West Wing of the White House, the United States Capitol Building, and their official residence at the United States Naval Observatory.
