The first time I ...Thanks for sharing this, Susie.<br /><br />The first time I heard of the China Room was while watching the movie, The American President starring Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, and others including Canadian Michael J. Fox. I have since watched it many times and wait with bated breath for the "Dish Room" scene. Just thinking about it sent me searching for the reference and I found it on YouTube, which I'll post here in case anyone else wants to get dreamy eyed in the Dish Room, too.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyihhox2fho<br />Anita Mae Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618699900826731377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-52490852363535486782018-04-04T13:37:55.626-04:002018-04-04T13:37:55.626-04:00I can't believe it's been five years since...I can't believe it's been five years since my blog on this. Good to see it here again since we have so many new followers. I lived in Washington D.C. back in the late 1940's and toured the White House as an eighth grader on a history class field trip. I saw the dishes first hand and it was impressive. I also have a picture of the room. Some pattern's are much prettier than others, and Polk's China was most unusual because it was floral and didn't really look like any of the others. <br /><br />Thanks for new insights into a great topic.

However, I believe they are paid for by private funds, not taxpayer dollars.
