The East Room is the largest room in the White House and is approximately 80 feet by 37 feet.  It is traditionally used for large gatherings, such as banquets, receptions, concerts, award presentations and press conferences. The Steinway grand piano was given to the White House in 1938. A full-length portrait of George Washington is one of several painted by Gilbert Stuart and has hung here since 1800.
