Few pictures on this board show the building as a set of measured drawings rather than a view of the street. This sheet sets out the north and west elevations and a section through the west wing, so it records the building's exterior faces and the interior arrangement of that wing in one plane. Marine hospitals like this one served sick and disabled seamen, a federal responsibility dating to a 1798 law. Architectural sheets of this kind show how such institutions were laid out, including room sizes, floor levels, and window placement.
