This view records the opening of the swimming pool at the Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase, Maryland, on May 30, 1925, according to the title on the negative sleeve, which has not been independently verified. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., commercial studio, documented clubs, buildings and civic events in the region, so the picture shows the leisure life of the area's affluent suburbs in the mid-1920s. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the collection in 1947. Its streaks and blemishes come from the natural deterioration of the original coating, a reminder of how fragile glass negatives are.
