"Esther Singleton: A Glimpse into the Historic White House, 1908" Step back in time and join Esther Singleton as she explores the grandeur of the iconic White House in Washington, USA. As she walks down the long corridor, adorned with timeless elegance, her excitement grows. In 1906, Esther witnesses a momentous gathering between President Roosevelt and Mr. And Mrs. Longworth. Their presence exudes power and influence within these hallowed walls. Venturing further into this historic residence, Esther finds herself in the private dining-room at the White House. The room resonates with whispers of important decisions made over sumptuous meals shared by influential figures shaping our nation's destiny. Curiosity leads her to Mrs. McKinley's bedroom; a space that once housed Ida Saxton McKinley, wife of American president William McKinley. In this room filled with memories from c1900s to 1908s, Esther can almost feel their presence lingering. The East Room beckons next - a majestic setting where opulent gatherings took place under sparkling chandeliers and intricate ceiling moldings, and is here that history was written amidst laughter and applause. Peeking into President Harrison's bedroom reveals an intimate glimpse into his personal sanctuary – a space where he found solace amidst his presidential duties during those tumultuous times of early 20th century America. As she enters the State Dining-room at the White House, Esther envisions dignitaries from around the world engaging in diplomatic conversations while savoring culinary delights prepared by skilled chefs who worked tirelessly behind closed doors in The White House kitchen nearby. The Oval Sitting-room offers respite for presidents past as they contemplated weighty matters or sought comfort surrounded by cherished mementos collected throughout their lives – like Caroline Lavinia Scott Harrison did during late 19th century America when her husband Benjamin Harrison held office until (1908).
