Rather than the mansion's familiar façades, this sheet shows a plan and elevation for an iron vestibule, drawn as a floor layout and a front view so builders could see how a small entry structure would sit within the house. Drawings of this kind belong to the architectural and engineering record that the Library of Congress preserves for the building. The White House was designed by James Hoban and built in the 1790s, then rebuilt after British forces burned it in 1814, so later additions like this one reflect a building repeatedly adapted to new needs. Cast iron was widely used for entrances in the nineteenth century because it could be cast into ornamental pieces and assembled with relative speed.
