The title pins this view to a specific address, 1331 N, and to the word "Times," which sets it apart from the broader street scenes the National Photo Company recorded across the capital. The firm photographed Washington's streets, storefronts, and public buildings in the early twentieth century, and this label was taken from the negative sleeve rather than verified on site. The date of about 1920 is inferred from neighboring negatives in the same range. Streaks and blemishes on the glass come from the natural breakdown of the original coating, which is common in plates of this age.
