Oval Office

The Oval Office is the official working office of the President of the United States, located in the West Wing of the White House in Washington, D.C. The oval-shaped room has served as the president's primary workspace since the early twentieth century, taking its current form under President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1934. It is the setting for meetings with foreign leaders, addresses to the nation and the signing of major legislation. The name has become an enduring symbol of the American presidency.
