It is my pleasure to welcome you to the west wing of the white house.

Presidents second floor office white house. The white house historical association invites you to the presidential sites summit at the historic willard intercontinental in washington d. The west wing has expanded and undergone several renovations since then but it has remained the official workplace of the president. This floor has 16 rooms 1 main corridor 6 bathrooms and 1 lavatory. In 1902 president theodore roosevelt relocated his office from the second floor of the residence to this newly constructed building.

Several important figures have used the desk including presidents taft wilson harding coolidge and for a few months hoover. The second floor when john adams first occupied the president s house in 1800 the second floor was generally reserved for private and family use. The current desk is part of the white house collection and was commissioned to be built for theodore roosevelt s use in the oval office. Until 1902 the first family quarters shared the second floor with the president s offices while the third floor was simply an attic.

The executive residence is the central building of the white house complex located between the east wing and west wing it is the most recognizable part of the complex being the actual house part of the white house.
