A measured drawing of a screen design and door sash detail gives this board a close look at the White House's joinery rather than its famous façades. It is held in the Library of Congress architectural and engineering drawings collection, where sheets like this record how individual parts of a building were constructed. Drawings of this kind document historic fabric in fine detail, so the craftsmanship of a door or screen can be studied long after the original work has been altered or replaced. The mansion, called the Executive Mansion in official use for much of its history, was begun in 1792 and first occupied by John Adams in 1800.
