China Room

This is the China Room. First Lady Edith Wilson began using this room in 1917 to display the pieces of china and glass used by past Presidents. I tried to put my water bowl in the cabinet next to a plate used by President Benjamin Harrison, but the curator quickly removed it. I guess I will have to create my own china room in my dog house. My favorite part of the room is the large picture of the collie, Rob Roy, with his owner, First Lady Grace Coolidge (1923-29). This painting was done by Howard Chandler Christy in 1924.
