President's House with Porticoes

This color illustration of the east view of the White House by Benjamin Henry Latrobe shows the building with North and South Porticoes that were not present on the original structure. Although Latrobe's drawings date from before the 1814 fire, the actual porticoes that were added during the rebuilding were designed by James Hoban.
