The title for this view comes from data supplied by the National Photo Company and has not been verified, so the exact site is uncertain. The subject belongs to a familiar Civil War landscape: Washington during the war held dozens of Union army hospitals that treated soldiers wounded at the front and men sickened by camp disease. The picture survives as a copy negative on glass, and the streaks and blemishes noted in its record reflect the natural breakdown of the original coatings over time.
