This drawing shows the front elevation of one row house at 2030 Hillyer Place, a short street in Northwest Washington near Dupont Circle, so it documents a single building rather than a whole block. The record does not give a date, but the sheet is a photolithograph, a reproduction process that let architects and builders make many copies of a design. Elevations like this show the facade's window placement, doorway, cornice and ornament at a measured scale, which makes them useful for studying how row houses were built and how closely they were repeated along a street. The sheet belongs to the Library of Congress's architectural and engineering drawings holdings.
