In this official White House photograph, taken on July 1, 1975 by Karl Schumacher, President Gerald R. Ford returns to the West Wing following a swim in the new pool on the South Grounds. The windows to the Oval Office can be seen on the left. During the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration, an indoor pool was installed in the West Wing, but this converted into the Press Room during the Richard M. Nixon administration in 1970. An avid swimmer, President Ford oversaw the installation of an outdoor pool in 1975. This photograph is part of a collection belonging to former White House Executive Chef Henry Haller. Haller served as executive chef at the White House from 1966-1987.
