Rather than a view of the building's exterior, this ink drawing appears to show the entrance story, the ground level of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. The main building, the Thomas Jefferson Building, opened in 1897 after years of construction, and drawings like this one guided the work and later alterations to its layout. Plans of this kind now give a detailed record of how the building was organized. The catalog record for this reference copy is incomplete, so its exact date and drafter are not confirmed here.
