This picture is labeled only "WASHINGTON," which could refer to the capital, the state, or a person, and the record gives no date to narrow it down. It comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the glass negatives of a New York news photo service that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Bain's archive covers a wide range of subjects, from politics and public events to street scenes and portraits. The catalogers note that the title comes from unverified information written on the negatives or caption cards, so it is worth reading as a starting point rather than a confirmed identification.
