Architect of the Capitol (detail)
The President’s Room, located on the second floor of the Senate wing of the U.S. Capitol, was completed in 1861 as a space for the president of the United States to use when visiting Congress. Today the president uses it mainly for the signing ceremony after each inauguration. More frequently, senators hold private meetings, interviews, and impromptu caucuses in the room, which is among the most impressive and richly adorned in the building.
