Jackie's televised tour of the White House

I frequently watched this 1962 TV special of Jackie giving a tour of the White House renovation and redecoration, and thought about how seriously she took historic preservation. She brought the same experience and passion for preservation and design to the 1975 fight to save Grand Central Terminal from being redeveloped.

You can't tell from the black and white images, but her boucle suit was burgundy.
