This view centers on the exterior of Erlebacher's, a business named on the negative and its sleeve, though the title comes from unverified notes left by the National Photo Company. The 8 by 6 inch glass plate is dated to about 1920 based on its neighbors in the collection. The National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., spent decades recording the city's streets, storefronts, and public life. Expect some streaks and blemishes on the plate, the result of age breaking down its original coatings, which can soften fine details of the façade and lettering.
