NewYorkFirst.com: Roosevelt Room Chair

The Bully Pulpit.

Theodore Roosevelt brought new excitement and power to the Presidency, as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy. He called the White House a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb or wonderful.

The window-less Roosevelt Room occupies the original site of the President's office when the West Wing was built by Teddy Roosevelt in 1902. Seven years later, the room became a part of two waiting rooms when the West Wing was expanded and the Oval Office was built. When Franklin Roosevelt relocated the Oval Office from the center of the building to the southeast corner in 1934, this room received a skylight.

Franklin Roosevelt called this room the Fish Room, where he displayed an aquarium and fishing mementos. John Kennedy continued the room's nautical theme by mounting a sailfish that he caught in Acapulco, Mexico.

President Richard Nixon named the room in 1969 to honor Theodore Roosevelt for building the West Wing and Franklin Roosevelt for expanding it. Today the room is used as a conference room and features handsome and generously sized mahogany Sheraton-style armchairs, hand-crafted by the Kittinger Furniture Company. The button-tufted back, tapered fluted legs, spade foot, and natural leather upholstery ensure high style and remarkably comfortable seating. Bully for Kittinger!
