Suzan Fellman had a hard time with Laura Bush’s redo of the famed guest quarters named for President Lincoln: "Looking at it, I thought I was in a Radisson lobby somewhere in the Midwest long ago. I could not imagine spending a night in that space."
Done up with Victorian furnishings, the Lincoln Bedroom is one of the residence’s least-changed spaces, said Betty Monkman, formerly chief curator of the White House for nearly 40 years. "It’s a quasi-museum room," she said, "with a lot of objects, such as the bed, that have symbolic importance."
The elaborately carved bed bought for Lincoln is the centerpiece of the room.
According to historian William Scale, the president was furious that his wife, Mary, spent so much money redecorating the White House during a time of war. He never slept in the bed, and the ornate piece eventually was moved to a spare room.
Los Angeles designer Fellman saw parallels, ca
A. evaluated
B. imagined
C. understood
D. praised
