The courtyard view of the U.S. Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C., is the focus here, captured around September 30, 1935. The building's west front, with its tall columns and stone walls, had been completed only a few years earlier, opening in 1935 as the Court's permanent home after decades of sharing space with the Capitol. The photograph was made by Wurts Bros., a Washington studio known for architectural and street views of the capital in that era. The record is based on an old caption card, so the exact date and vantage point are not fully verified.
