10. The Iconic Oval Office
In 1909, President William Howard Taft expanded the White House’s West Wing, creating the first Oval Office at its center. This design mirrored the White House’s existing oval-shaped rooms, symbolizing the president’s central role in the administration. In 1934, during President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s term, the Oval Office was relocated to its current position in the southeast corner of the West Wing, offering more natural light and direct access to the Rose Garden. (britannica.com)
