Isometrical View of the President's House

This 1857 map offers an isometrical, or angled, view of the White House grounds . The map anticipates the appearance of new, expanded government buildings, some never realized, and omits other landmarks such as the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Park, which first appeared in the park in 1853.
