The
Lincoln Sitting Room is a small
sitting room located next to the
Lincoln Bedroom on the second floor of the
White House. It was used as the White House telegraph room from 1865 to 1902 (until the
West Wing was built). It is furnished in Victorian-style to match the bedroom. The overstuffed sofa and matching chair were formerly furnishings in the
Green Room. The Kennedy restoration in 1963 restored it to Victorian-style, and it has been maintained in the same style since.
