This photograph of the Roosevelt Room by Erik Kvalsvik was taken in April 1991 during the George H. W. Bush administration. Richard M. Nixon named the room in 1969 after Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt for their contributions to the construction of the West Wing. Artwork and mementos of both presidents are often on display in the room to honor the two men, including Theodore Roosevelt's 1906 Nobel Peace Prize seen on the mantel. The Roosevelt Room is a conference room located across the hall from the Oval Office and acts as an all-purpose room for meetings, receptions, and announcements by presidents and their staff.
