The First Sanctum of Our President, photograph by T. M. Schleier, Greeneville, Tennessee, c. 1865.
Before he entered political life, ultimately ascending to the seat of the U.S. presidency, Andrew Johnson laboured as a tailor out of this small shop in northeastern Tennessee. Today, the structure has been designated a national monument and encased within a larger brick building for preservation and presentation.
