This reproduction of the 1791 L'Enfant-Ellicott plan for the city of Washington, D.C. was printed by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Office (now the Office of Coast Survey in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) in 1887, during President Grover Cleveland's administration. The map sparked renewed interest in L’Enfant’s design for the city including a large executive mansion, called the President’s House on the map, with a sizable park to the south.
