Rather than a view of the building's facade or rooms, this drawing isolates a single piece of joinery: the sash of a screen door at the Executive Mansion in Washington, D.C. Detail sheets like this one record how a component was built, showing the members, profiles, and joints that a carpenter needed to reproduce it. The White House was designed by James Hoban and completed around 1800, and its exterior woodwork and doors were repaired, replaced, and altered over the following two centuries. Drawings of this kind help historians and preservationists understand how the building's fittings were originally made and how they changed over time.
