Lincoln Bedroom

The Lincoln Bedroom is part of a guest suite in the southeast corner of the second floor of the White House in Washington, D.C. The Lincoln Sitting Room makes up the other part of the suite. The rooms are named for President Abraham Lincoln, who used them for his office.

The first room in the White House to carry the name "Lincoln Bedroom" was in the northwest corner of the White House. It existed from 1929 (at which time it was changed from the Prince of Wales Bedroom) until 1961, when First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy transformed it into the President's Dining Room.
