The first small East Wing was built in 1902, during the Theodore Roosevelt renovations as an entrance for formal and public visitors. This served mainly as an entrance for guests during large social gatherings, when it was necessary to accommodate many cars and carriages—as well as many cloaks and hats. It's primary feature was the long cloak room with spots for coats and hats of the ladies and gentlemen. This would eventually be converted into the family Theater.
The East Wing as it exists today was added to the White House in 1942 primarily to cover the construction of an underground bunker, now the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC). Around the same time, Theodore Roosevelt's coatroom became the movie theater. Later, offices for correspondence, calligraphers and the social secretary were placed in the East Wing. Eleanor Roosevelt employed the first social secretary. Rosalynn Carter, in 1977, was the first to place her personal office in the East Wing and to formally call it the "The Office of the First Lady" Today, the social secretary prepares all of the invitations and written correspondence for every event held at the White House. The East Wing serves as office space for the first lady and her staff, including the White House social secretary and correspondence staff. The East Wing also includes the Garden Room, Family Theater, Visitors Foyer, and the East Colonnade corridor. Visitors touring the White House enter through the east entrance and follow the East Colonnade past the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden to enter the Residence to see rooms on the Ground and State Floors. Now, I know....and knowing....is half the battle! |
