Queens' Bedroom

[citation needed] Before the construction of the West Wing in 1902, it was the usual bedroom and office for presidential private secretaries.

The room became a regular bedroom suite when the president's staff moved into the West Wing.

Winston Churchill stayed in the room when he visited Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman before and after World War II.

Jacqueline Kennedy considered taking the room for herself in 1961, but settled instead on the traditional master suite.

President and Mrs. Kennedy used the Queens' Bedroom while the master suite was being decorated in their first weeks in the house.
