This ink drawing presents the front and end elevations of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., showing the building's outer faces as flat, measured views rather than as a perspective scene. The Library's main building, now called the Thomas Jefferson Building, was begun in 1890 and opened in 1897, after architects John L. Smithmeyer and Paul J. Pelz won the commission. Architectural elevations like this one were used to plan construction and record the design, and they remain useful for studying how the building was meant to look from the street.
