This photograph of the West Sitting Hall looking east was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on May 3, 1962, during the John F. Kennedy administration. The image shows the bookcases built for the Kennedys during Sister Parish’s early 1961 decoration of the private quarters. Sister Parish was an interior designer and socialite who helped redecorate the White House in the early stages of First Lady Jaqueline Kennedy's restoration project.
