President's Bedroom

The bedroom makes up the White House master suite along with the adjacent sitting room and the smaller dressing room, all located in the southwest corner.

Prior to the Ford Administration it was common for the President and First Lady to have separate bedrooms.

Until then, this room was used mostly as the First Lady's bedroom; however, it was the sleeping quarters for President Lincoln.
