The negative is titled for McNary & Hangen and dated June 15, 1929, though the cataloguers note that the title comes from unverified information written by the National Photo Company on the negative or its sleeve, so the name and date are best treated as a lead rather than a confirmed fact. The National Photo Company operated in Washington, D.C., for decades and produced a large body of commercial and documentary views of the capital and beyond. Its glass negatives, many of them preserved through a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French, often show streaks and blemishes from the slow breakdown of their original coatings, and those marks are part of what a viewer sees in this one.
