This photoprint is a photostat of a site plan and elevation drawing for the United States Supreme Court building, bearing the signature of architect Cass Gilbert, whose firm designed the building. The copy records the plan for the court's home across from the U.S. Capitol, a marble Classical Revival structure that the Court moved into in 1935. Gilbert died in 1934, before the building was finished, so drawings like this one document the design he left for the project. Photostats were a common way to reproduce architectural drawings, which makes this copy useful for studying how the building was laid out on its site.
