This glass negative records a street address, 3310 Macomb, in Washington, D.C., with the name "Maury" as its title, though the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified data supplied by the National Photo Company. The company operated in the capital in the early twentieth century and photographed its streets, buildings, and neighborhoods for sale as views, so the image reflects everyday urban life of about 1920. Visitors should also notice the streaks and blemishes that mark the plate's coating, which the record attributes to natural deterioration over time.
