A partial floor plan of the Library of Congress, drawn in graphite, watercolor, wash, and ink, shows the building's interior layout rather than its exterior. Drawings like this one helped architects and builders plan rooms, stairways, and the placement of shelves and reading spaces. The library dates to 1800, when Congress set aside funds for books, and it was housed in the Capitol until the British burned that building in 1814. Thomas Jefferson's personal collection, sold to Congress in 1815, became the foundation of its holdings, and the library later moved into its own building on Capitol Hill.
