Rather than a view of the building's exterior, this drawing lays out the arrangement of a second floor in ink and graphite on paper, the kind of working plan architects and engineers used to show rooms, walls, and circulation. It belongs to the library's architecture, design, and engineering drawings, so it likely served as a reference for how the space was organized and later changed. The Library of Congress grew across several Washington buildings, most notably the Jefferson Building, which opened in 1897, and plans like this one help trace how interior space in those buildings was divided and adapted over time.
