In this scene of a New Year’s Day reception envisioned during the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt (1904-1909) guests line the walk in front of a new executive office building, later called the West Wing.

The President’s House was first made white with lime-based whitewash in 1798, and was official named the “White House” by President Roosevelt in 1901.
