Visitors who come to see the President, Vice President, and White House staff pass through the West Wing Reception Room. Renovated by President Richard Nixon in 1970 into a smaller, more intimate receiving room, it houses several paintings from the White House collection as well as a 1770 mahogany bookcase, one of the oldest pieces of furniture in the White House.
