This drawing sets out both the plan and the elevation of an iron vestibule at the White House, the Executive Mansion in Washington, D.C., so it shows the entry space from above and from the front. The record gives no date, so the drawing's exact period is unclear. Iron framing and cast ornament were common in federal and public buildings from the mid-19th century on, partly for fireproofing after the building's own history of fire. The mansion was burned by British troops in 1814 and rebuilt, and it was altered many times afterward, which makes drawings like this useful for tracing how its entrances changed.
