Talk:Roosevelt Room

Portraits

 * "Even before President Nixon's formal naming of the Roosevelt Room a tradition existed of Democratic administrations hanging Alfred Jonniaux's portrait of FDR over the mantel with Teddy Roosevelt's equestrian portrait by Tade Styka titled "Rough Rider" hung on the south wall. Republican administrations would, in turn, hang Teddy Roosevelt's painting above the mantel and move FDR's portrait to the south wall."

This is all demonstrably wrong. Please see the numerous photos. --Tysto (talk) 17:37, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * 15 years late, but yes, this is still in the article and not at all supported by sources. Before the AV cabinet there was a regular cabinet at the opposite wall, so there never was a space to hang the other painting there. Theres photos from multiple Democratic presidents with the Teddy painting over the mantle. — jonas (talk) 23:15, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

I added some sections to this page, I think it breaks it up quite a bit better, hope no one minds. I removed the sections and lead-to-long tag because i inserted the sections. --Millertime246 (talk) 03:52, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
