Cross Hall, State corridor in White House, Washington, D.C., United States.
The Cross Hall extends 80 feet long and connects the State Dining Room with the East Room on the White House first floor.
The architectural design of Cross Hall underwent reconstruction in 1952, replicating elements from the 1902 renovation by McKim, Mead and White firm.
Presidential portraits line the walls of Cross Hall, a tradition that began during President Ulysses S. Grant's administration in the late 19th century.
The corridor functions as a ceremonial space for receiving lines during State Arrival Ceremonies and provides access to multiple State Floor rooms.
Two marble niches in the south wall, originally designed for cast-iron stoves by Thomas Jefferson, now display busts of Presidents Washington and Lincoln.
