Few Washington buildings have been drawn with as much care as the Library of Congress, and this second-story plan captures its upper floor in ink and gouache. It belongs to the Library's architectural and engineering drawings, which record how the building was conceived before and during construction. The main building, now known as the Thomas Jefferson Building, opened in 1897 after years of planning, and its architects, John L. Smithmeyer and Paul J. Pelz, gave its interior an ambitious, ornamented scale. Working plans like this one show how that scale was turned into rooms, corridors and circulation.
