@@cakenbacon6177 Yes, although an oval is a better shape for how the room is used, as you get more space for the press and individuals meeting with the President for the actual square footage of the room. The President sits roughly in the center of one of the long sides, which gives the people meeting with him a large amount of space. You could do that with a circle, but it would be a larger circle and the people at the back would be farther away. I do think that not having corners does make it a bit harder for people to hide things in the corners, though, as you've got more smooth walls that can be quickly monitored for spy gear. (Admittedly, the rooms were built before that was a concern, so probably a happy accident)

I think you missed a piece of history even older referencing why the executive mansion had an oval office. In the beginning Philadelphia was the nation's capitol. While Washington DC was under construction, George Washington had residence in a mansion owned by (I think William) Morris which was near the corner of 6th and Market (High) Streets, and rented to the new US Government. An oval bowed window was added in the back of the mansion that overlooked the entire seats of government: Supreme Court, Independence Hall (for congress and senate), and the state house of Pennsylvania, and city hall. When visitors greeted Washington, behind him was the entire structure of a democratic nation. There's some controversy about this all, due to believe it or not a cover of slavery (which is so long even to summarize I could make my own video if I had enough talent or intellect). About 25 years ago when plans were formulating to construct a new structure to hold the Liberty Bell a ruckus broke out in Philly that forced "the powers to be" to do an archeological dig at the corner of ^th and Market to look for the remains of the original executive mansion--and underground slave quarters connecting to the mansion. They uncovered the foundation of the mansion and slave quarters (which you practically step on to enter the new Liberty Bell Pavilion. And they discovered a foundation for the oval bayed addition. When the DC executive mansion was built so was this feature. BTW: easily overlooked, there is a marker designating that Washington's slaves (brought to a free Philadelphia) slept, worked practically at the Bell's entrance, which proclaims "liberty". Philadelphia's historians won out, but to prevent visitor's uncomfortable reality (which they warned would happen without a dig and more research) the marking is easily missed. And next to the entrance is the unearthed foundations of the mansion and a presentation of the history of Washington's slaves, colonial laws of slavery at the time, and the mansion. Maybe more research at the Library Company of Philadelphia can uncover more details and history of the house, Oval Office, etc. Thanks for another interesting entertaining episode.

That's Robert Morris. During the Revolution he was the richest man in America and he personally funded the then down and out Continental Army during that grim winter at Valley Forge. He was chief of finance for the Continental Congress during the Revolution and was thus Washington's first pick to be Secretary of the Treasury but Morris declined the offer and recommended Hamilton for the job.

I realized that you missed a small bit of the history of the Oval Office: it was a late addition, tacked onto the West Wing. The West Wing itself was built because Teddy Roosevelt (our youngest ever President) had too many young children and needed to expand the residential apartments in the White House. The President's office was more centrally located in its earlier floorplans, similar to where the Blue Room is in the White House itself (Teddy had it where the Roosevelt Room currently is, and it wasn't oval!). During a redesign/expansion under Franklin Roosevelt, the Oval Office was reconstructed in the current corner location, partly to accommodate FDR's wheelchair access through the colonnade & rose garden. This also as the unexpected (yet welcome) effect of giving the President a separate exit that bypasses the busy internal hallways of the West Wing.

The decision to keep the White House as the executive residence - rather than moving the President to, say, the current Vice President’s mansion or another residence on a DC military base and converting the original White House to a museum - may have been a mistake. The White House has since become this highly secure installation in the middle of the downtown area of a major city (even more so than the Capitol), which is something major cities are not designed to have. Even Washington.

A little more: The bow window in the President's House in Philadelphia was not an oval room, it was just a room with a rounded end and was thus referred to as the D-shaped room. The bow window addition to the house was undertaken by Washington who had a keen interest in building things and remodeling homes. Mount Vernon is his masterpiece and in many ways his life's work. He probably gave as much time and attention to creating the Mansion at Mount Vernon as he did to birthing a nation. Washington was up on the latest fashions in home design and decorating. It was all about cultivating his identity as a gentleman of rank and distinction. Anyway, when he reviewed the designs submitted to the competition for the President's House to be built in Washington City he didn't like any of them. So he summoned James Hoban and asked him to submit a scheme but also instructed Hoban on what he wanted in the design and the oval reception room was one of the key ideas Washington dictated to Hoban. He almost certainly met with Hoban at the President's House in Philadelphia. Another key contribution of Washington to the design of the White House was the design of the East Room which finds its precedent in the "New Room" at Mount Vernon.

The key is that Washington wanted his actual working office to be transparent, but to also have some clear attachment to the traditions (and, frankly, practices) of a royal court. He saw the "levee" as an essential elevation of American protocol, and he imagined an ideal space to do business and entertain diplomats toward this end. He was ahead of his time.

I think that would have made it more noteworthy in the past. Of course now with modern construction technology it’s hard to surprise people with any shape space.
