This map of President's Park and the surrounding buildings was drawn by government surveyor Robert King in 1798, during John Adams' administration. King depicts the position of federal buildings relative to the President's House, or White House, including the Treasury building to the east and an executive office building to the west. When John and Abigail Adams became the first occupants of the White House in 1800, construction to these buildings was ongoing.
