Security Savings & Commercial Bank is the subject here, a business the National Photo Company recorded on glass during the early 1920s. The firm, based in Washington, D.C., documented the city's streets, buildings and storefronts over several decades, and its negatives remain a major source for the period. The title comes from the company's own label, which has not been independently verified, so the exact location is best treated with some caution. The glass plate shows streaks and blemishes from the gradual breakdown of its original coating, a common effect of age that gives the image a faint, mottled texture.
