The title Lotus Restaurant comes from the National Photo Company's own notes and has not been independently verified, so the building's identity remains open. The negative belongs to the firm's large body of Washington scenes from the early twentieth century, when its photographers documented the city's shops, hotels and storefronts. Its date falls somewhere between 1909 and 1940, and the streaks on the glass reflect natural deterioration of the original coating.
