President Theodore Roosevelt built the West Wing in 1902, but his office in the new wing was not oval-shaped. The Taft Oval Office was built as part of the West Wing's 1909 expansion, and was centered in the wing's south façade—similar to the oval rooms in the White House residence, such as the Yellow Oval Room (which had sometimes served as the president's office before the West Wing was built). The Taft Oval served President William Howard Taft through President Franklin Roosevelt, but suffered a major fire in 1929, and was demolished in 1933. President Franklin Roosevelt built the modern Oval Office at the corner next to the rose garden in 1934, as part of the wing's reconstruction with an expansion to the West Wing's east facade.
