A cross-section drawing slices through a building to show what the exterior hides: floor levels, wall thicknesses, and how the interior spaces stack and connect. Here the drawing's focus is a row of arcades, the repeated arches carried on columns or piers that structure the building's interior. Architects and engineers used such sections to plan construction and to explain designs to clients and builders. Drawings like this one, held in the Library of Congress's collections, are valuable both as records of building design and as precise, hand-ruled documents from an era before digital modeling.
