This elevation drawing was created by Benjamin Henry Latrobe in 1807. The architectural drawing shows an east view of the White House, with guests entering and departing the house from the proposed North and South Porticos. The North and South Porticos were not part of James Hoban's original 1792 design for the White House. Although this drawing anticipates the prominent use of columns on the North Portico (completed ca. 1829-1820) and South Portico (completed 1824), it does not reflect the appearance of the North and South Porticos as they were constructed.

This watercolor painting by Rufus Porter is of the White House with the sun rising behind it. Porter was an American painter and inventor who went on to found the magazine "Scientific American" in 1845.

This painting depicts Georgetown and the Federal City in 1801. Originally drawn by George Beck of Philadelphia, this engraving was done by Thomas Cartwright of London and was published by Atkins and Nightingale. The Potomac River is depicted in the painting. The buildings closer to the forefront are in Georgetown, while the ones further away make up the City of Washington.
