The record gives this 1918 negative the title *Sub-treasury*, but the Bain News Service noted that the title is unverified, and the location is not specified. Sub-treasuries were regional branches of the U.S. Treasury that handled federal deposits and money in several major cities. Bain News Service, a commercial photo agency run by George Grantham Bain, produced many news pictures of civic buildings and wartime activity during World War I, so this negative likely belongs to that busy period. Glass negatives like this one hold fine architectural detail that later prints often lose.
