"After briefly using this desk in the Oval Office, John F. Kennedy switched to the Resolute desk and moved the Theodore Roosevelt desk to the Vice President's Ceremonial Office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building."– The first line already mentions that Vice President's Ceremonial Office is in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
".. in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where ..."– Eisenhower Executive Office Building is linked for the second time.
" After Nixon resigned, the Theodore Roosevelt desk was ..."→ "After Nixon resigned, the desk was"

"In 1901 Theodore Roosevelt became President of the United States following the assassination of William McKinley."→ "In 1901, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt ascended to the presidency, following the assassination of incumbent president William McKinley.

".. This desk was used by President Hoover for the remainder of his time in office and for all of Franklin D. Roosevelt's tenure ..."– It implied President Hoover used the Theodore Roosevelt desk for remainder of his term, as well as all of FDR's terms. Modify the sentence as "This desk was used by President Hoover for remainder of his term, and by Franklin D. Roosevelt during his presidency". Also, link Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt
"After Franklin Roosevelt's death the ..."– Comma after death
".. the Theodore Roosevelt desk was moved to the Vice President's Ceremonial Office, in what is now called the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where ..."– Repetition.
