This view turns to the west side of the White House, showing the terrace and the office building that sat beside the residence on Pennsylvania Avenue. The office wing was a later addition. Executive offices were moved out of the mansion in 1902, and the work that followed gave the presidency a workplace apart from the family's living quarters. H. C. Merrill's engraving was reproduced by a photomechanical process, a method that let printed material carry detailed architectural views at a modest cost. The print is part of the Mrs. H. S. Owen Collection at the Library of Congress.
