This record documents the principal floor of the White House, the state floor where official receptions and ceremonies took place, and it focuses on the reflected ceiling and the stairs. Its cataloging places it in the Library of Congress architecture and design holdings, and the film copy suggests a copy of an original architectural record rather than a photograph taken on site. James Hoban designed the mansion in the 1790s, and British troops burned its interior in 1814, so the building was repaired and redecorated several times afterward. The record does not give a precise date, so its exact period is uncertain. Its interest lies in how the building's ceilings and circulation spaces were planned.
