The record names the Northeast exterior of the White House, so this print shows the executive mansion from a side that is less often photographed than its famous north and south fronts. The caption card carries no date, and its subject tracings are old and unverified, so the exact year of the exposure is unknown. Still, the building itself has been the home of every U.S. president since John Adams moved in during 1800, and its exterior was a common subject for photographers from the late 19th century onward. Comparing the stonework, window arrangement, and surrounding grounds with dated views is one practical way to place the picture in time.
