A side elevation of the Library of Congress, drawn in ink and gouache, presents the building's flank as a flat architectural view rather than a scene in perspective. Drawings of this kind let designers and builders check height, the spacing of windows and projecting stonework, and overall proportions in a single plane. The Library's main building, now called the Thomas Jefferson Building, opened in 1897 after years of construction on Capitol Hill, and its dense exterior ornament makes its elevations worth studying closely. The record says little about who drew this sheet or exactly when, so its precise date and purpose remain open.
