A drawing room is a room in a house where visitors may be entertained, and a historical term for what would now usually, in the USA, be called a living room. The name is derived from the 16th-century terms withdrawing room and withdrawing chamber, which remained in use through the 17th century, and made their first written appearance in 1642. Wikipedia
