White House Indoor Pool, Franklin D. Roosevelt Administration

This black and white photograph depicts the indoor pool of the White House built in 1933 during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1970, the indoor pool was converted into the White House Press Room. An outdoor pool replaced the indoor pool in 1975. Lorenzo Simmons Winslow designed the room with Douglas H. Gillette as an engineer.
