White House, Main Entrance (Tiffany Alterations to the North Door)
This photograph of the White House north entrance was taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston circa 1893. Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass windows appear in the door and in the tympanum above. Johnston, one of the first prominent female photographers, specialized both in portrait and architectural photography. Between the 1880s and 1910s, she spent a great deal of time documenting the architecture and inhabitants of the White House.
