Doors are the focus here, rather than a building's façade or floor plan, which sets this architectural drawing apart from the broader views of Washington that usually hang beside it. Drawings like this were produced by architects and draftsmen working on the federal city, where public buildings and private houses were being raised across the nineteenth century. Working details such as door profiles, panels and joinery were drawn at a scale that let a carpenter or joiner build the exact same piece in multiple rooms. Looking closely, you can see how much of a building's character came from these small, repeated elements.
