1887 photograph allowed for an exact replication of the wall
paper, with its abstract designs of lines and stars in gold,
on a white or cream ground and a border paper of multi-colored
flowers and leaves. |

Just
outside of the library, across from Zeb's room, is the
President's study. This room was constructed in 1880 when
the second floor was raised to its present height and
is interpreted to 1885. During the presidential campaign,
Garfield used this room as his private office and study,
as the library had been converted into a campaign office.
Visitors during the time of his campaign called it a "snuggery,"
and indeed the room is a cozy space measuring only thirteen
and half by fourteen feet. A lithograph and photograph
show that Lucretia kept many objects just where her husband
had them: Garfield's desk, desk chair and rocking chair
are all to be found in the same location.
