Here the subject is a training institution rather than a street or monument: the Massachusetts Nautical School, which the National Photo Company recorded on a glass negative dated September 7, 1923. The school trained boys for maritime careers, and photographs like this one document its grounds and daily life during a period when such institutions were a common route into seafaring work. The negative came to the Library of Congress as a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French, and its title is noted as unverified, so the exact building or activity shown should be checked against the record. Visible streaks and blemishes are typical of glass plates whose coatings have aged.
