Description
A view of the Presidents house in the city of Washington after the conflagration of the 24th August 1814.

On August 24, 1814, British general Robert Ross led his troops into Washington with strict orders to burn only public buildings. On August 25, a tornado blew through the city, bringing torrential rains that quelled both fires and British desire to pursue further action in Washington.
