This photographs of the construction of the East Terrace was taken in 1902, during Theodore Roosevelt's administration. Soon after he assumed office, Roosevelt ordered a major White House renovation, establishing a design that has remained largely in place ever since. His plan included the reconstruction of the East Terrace, part of an earlier White House design that had been demolished. The terrace became part of the East Wing, which originally served as a visitor's entrance. This photograph appeared in a report to the Senate which provided an overview of the project. This is a black and white photograph developed into silver gelatin and platinotypes.
