An architectural drawing of the Capitol Park Hotel shows the building as its designers planned it, with the street frontage, entrances, and room layout laid out on paper. In the nineteenth century, hotels near the Capitol housed lawmakers, lobbyists, and out-of-town visitors, and many had a barroom or tavern on the ground floor where business and conversation happened over drinks. Drawings like this one reveal how those public rooms were arranged and how they related to the street. The record offers few further details, so the plan is best read as a window onto how Washington's hospitality trade grew up around the seat of government.
