The record names the Dupont National Bank in Washington, D.C., though that title came from data written on the negative or its sleeve and has not been independently verified. The picture is a glass negative, a format that commercial photographers widely used in the early twentieth century, and it probably dates from about 1910 to 1925, the years when the National Photo Company was documenting the capital's streets and businesses. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the Library of Congress in 1947. Streaks and other blemishes from the natural breakdown of the original coatings are visible, so the sharpness and tone of the image are affected by its age.
