Leaded glass skylights and octagon windows, drawn here in elevation and as reflected ceiling plans, were designed to bring daylight into the Thomas Jefferson Building. Bernard R. Green, who oversaw construction of the building, signed this working drawing, which is rendered in ink, colored ink and watercolor on linen. Completed in 1897, the Jefferson Building was the Library of Congress's first major home outside the Capitol, and its overhead glazing helped light the halls and reading rooms below.
