The record names only a building, the Wm. P. Lipscomb Co., and the National Photo Company Collection it belongs to. The company's name suggests a business, and the glass negative format, 4 by 5 inches or smaller, places the image in the early 20th century, when photographers commonly worked with glass plates before flexible film became standard. The National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., made a large body of street scenes, government buildings and commercial views of the city and beyond between roughly 1900 and 1930. Pictures like this one give a useful record of how local businesses presented their storefronts and facades during that period.
