More thoughts on this photo. It's the Red Room in the White House. Used mostly for small dinners by the President. Here's some interesting history about it....

On March 3, 1877, the Red Room was the scene for the historic swearing-in of president-elect Rutherford B. Hayes. Political tensions ran high after his bitterly contested election over Samuel J. Tilden, so Hayes secretly took the Oath of Office at the White House. Inauguration Day fell on a Sunday that year, and this swearing-in avoided a 24-hour delay in the transfer of power and any perceived danger of a coup. President Ulysses Grant slipped away from a dinner party in the next room to attend the ceremony. Hayes took the Oath of Office again in public on March 5 on the East Front of the Capitol without incident.
