A basement plan of the White House, labeled with its 19th-century name "Executive Mansion," maps the heating system and furnace flues that served the building below its main floors. Drawings like this record the building's working mechanics, which were rarely visible to visitors. The White House heating and ventilation systems were rebuilt several times as coal-burning furnaces gave way to steam and later forced-air equipment. Plans such as this one show where that machinery sat and how smoke and warm air were routed through the house.
