An old apple tree growing behind the south portico of the White House is the particular subject here, a detail that sets this view apart from the many photographs of the building's famous façades. The print dates to sometime between 1910 and 1930, a period when the executive mansion was a working office for presidents from Taft through Hoover and its grounds were often photographed as a quiet, domestic counterpart to its formal public face. Its catalog number, No. 21836 RU, marks it as one of the Library of Congress's photographic prints from that era. Noticing the tree itself, rather than the stately columns around it, shows how the White House grounds were treated as ordinary garden space.
