The stars and stripes deck the East Room for the Army and Navy
Reception of 1900, when their Commander in Chief received high-ranking military
officers at this annual White House event. Two years later the opulent
Victorian decor gave way to Colonial revival. Today Gilbert Stuart's
portrait of
Washington, to the left of the fireplace, hangs again in the room.
