This measured drawing records a door in the East Room, the largest formal room in the White House, where presidents have held receptions, news conferences, and state ceremonies. Measured drawings like this one were made by architects and draftsmen who recorded existing woodwork, proportions, and hardware so that historic details could be documented, studied, and reproduced during repairs or restorations. The East Room was rebuilt after the mansion was burned in 1814, and its surviving fittings reflect the work of later renovations over the following century. The record does not give a date or draftsman, so the drawing is best read as evidence of the building's craftsmanship and of the care taken to preserve it.
