The West Wing


The West Wing of the White House was built in the early 1900s under the eye of President Theordore Roosevelt. When the White House was first built, the land the West Wing sits on was
filled with greeenhouses. Roosevelt, however, had his first temporary office built on this land, and later transformed it into what now holds rooms such as the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room. After suffering a terrible fire in 1929, President Franklin Roosevelt expanded the West Wing, relocating the Oval Office to the east side of the building.
