Museum
The first part of the house is a museum displaying many items from the 1901 Pan-American Exposition, including wine glasses, plates, playing cards, and the key to the Temple of Music. The last room is a recreation of the Oval Office as it appeared during Roosevelt's Presidency, and includes an interactive desk which can be used to send e-mails to yourself.
