A garage that housed a Red Cross emergency ambulance station is an unusual subject for a studio known mostly for formal portraits of officials and society figures. The Red Cross ran motor ambulance services in the early twentieth century, especially during the First World War, when volunteers and vehicles were mobilized for wartime and disaster relief. Harris & Ewing, the Washington, D.C., studio founded in 1905 by George W. Harris and Richard Lee Ewing, documented much of the city's public life for decades, so this picture is a useful record of how the capital's emergency services were organized. The record gives only a date range, so the exact year and the particular service it housed are not known.
