Stoneleigh Court is the subject here, a building on L Street in Northwest Washington, though the street address on the record comes from data written on the negative sleeve and has not been independently verified. The picture dates from roughly 1910 to 1926, a period when downtown Washington was filling with apartment houses as city living grew among government workers and professionals. The National Photo Company made thousands of such views of the capital during those years, and its glass negatives remain a record of the streetscape. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from the natural breakdown of the original coatings.
