In this black and white photograph, President Roosevelt lays the cornerstone for the new East Wing. The original East Wing, used mostly as an entrance, was built in 1902 during President Teddy Roosevelt’s administration. In 1942, the East Wing was expanded to include a second floor, more office space, and the Presidential Emergency Operations Center.
