The Oval Office
http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/oval-office
The Oval Office is
the official office of the President of the United States.
The office was
designed by the architect Nathan C. Wyeth at the order of President William
Howard Taft in 1909. Named for its distinctive oval shape, the Oval Office is
part of the complex of offices that make up the West Wing of the White House.
Badly damaged by a fire in 1929, the office was rebuilt by President Herbert C.
Hoover. In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt enlarged the West Wing and
added today’s Oval Office, designed by Eric Gugler.
The architectural
features of the Oval Office, which draw from baroque, neoclassical, and
Georgian traditions, have become symbolic of the power and prestige of the
Presidency in the minds of Americans and people across the world. There are
three large south-facing windows behind the President’s desk, as well as four
doors into different parts of the West Wing.
The ceiling is adorned with an elaborate molding around the edge, and
features elements of the Seal of the President.
Presidents generally
change the office to suit their personal taste, choosing new furniture, new
drapery, and designing their own oval-shaped carpet to take up most of the
floor. Paintings are selected from the White House’s own collection, or
borrowed from other museums for the President’s term in office.
The President uses
the Oval Office as his primary place of work. It is positioned to provide easy
access to his staff in the West Wing and to allow him to retire easily to the
White House residence at the end of the day. The President commonly chooses the
Oval Office as the backdrop for televised addresses to the nation, and
countless foreign leaders have traveled to the office to meet with the
President.
