Drawn to scale, this sheet records the south elevation of the White House, the face that looks out over the South Lawn. Measured drawings like this one captured a building's exact proportions, so the sheet preserves dimensions that photographs alone cannot. The house has served as the Executive Mansion since President John Adams moved in during 1800, and its south front gained the columned portico that many people now picture first, added in the 1820s. Comparing the windows, cornice and porch on the drawing with the building itself shows how the house balances formal display with restraint.
