Correcting a common White House anachronism

I changed the room in which Babcock would work with Grant from the Oval Office to what I termed the Presidential Office, for lack of a better term. I don't know which White House office Grant used, but it sure wasn't the Oval Office, which is part of the West Wing that was built during Theodore Roosevelt's administration.
