The 2005 ornament honors President James A. Garfield. During his years in office, President Garfield attacked political corruption and restored a prestige that the presidency had lost during the Reconstruction period.
The 2005 White house ornament is gold-plated brass with a round ceramic stone that features an illustration based on a period engraving of the South Front of the White House. The color scheme and highly decorative wreath design are derived from art objects in the collection at Lawnfield, the historic Garfield house in Mentor, Ohio. The JAG monogram on the ornament was styled after Garfield’s inaugural ball decorations, which now hang at Lawnfield. The pattern on the 2005 ornament box is based on high Victorian flocked wallpaper in the Garfield house.
