Stoneleigh Court, an apartment building on L Street in Northwest Washington, sets this view apart from the monuments and government buildings that dominate the city's photographic record. The negative comes from the National Photo Company, a commercial firm that documented Washington streets and buildings in the years between about 1910 and 1926, a period of rapid growth in the capital's residential neighborhoods. The streaks and blemishes on the glass come from the natural deterioration of its original coating, so the image's softness is part of its physical history.
