The "Yellow Bedroom"
Two bedrooms on the north side of the second floor are part of small suites with their own bathrooms. The east bedroom connects to the Closet Hall to the west. This bedroom was used once by President Chester Arthur, who ordered a regally carved headboard, canopied in blue and complete with double mattresses for himself. It was a bedroom for Frederick Dent (father of First Lady Julia Grant); Mary Dimmick (niece of Caroline Harrison and later wife of the widowed president) and John Scott (father of Caroline Harrison); Kermit Roosevelt; Madge Wallace (mother of Bess Truman); Caroline Kennedy; Pat Nugent and Luci Johnson Nugent and their son; Tricia Nixon; Susan Ford; Amy Carter; Chelsea Clinton. The room was used as an office by Nancy Reagan.
