DescriptionWhite House Treaty Room 1901 (cropped) Patent Revolving Secretary.jpg
The White House Cabinet Room (today the Treaty Room) in 1901. The flag in the case is the 1898 Army presidential color (the Navy had a separate presidential flag).
The original caption read: In this room Cabinet meetings are held and important national questions are discussed by the President and his Cabinet. Around this historic table many of the greatest men in our history have been seated in council. Here the policy of the administration and the destiny of the nation is shaped. The walls are adorned with many portraits of ex-Presidents. The President's flag may be seen in the glass case behind the table.
