East Room, State room at White House, United States.

The East Room features oak floors with Fontainebleau parquetry pattern, three Bohemian crystal chandeliers, and white-painted wood paneling with classical fluted pilasters.

The East Room remained unfinished during President John Adams's tenure in 1800, with Abigail Adams using the space for drying laundry.

The Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington displayed in the East Room stands as the single item continuously present in the White House since 1800.

The East Room serves as the primary venue for White House press conferences, ceremonies, bill signings, receptions, concerts, and state functions.

During Theodore Roosevelt's administration, the East Room hosted unconventional activities including a wrestling match for 50 guests and children roller skating.
