A single street address anchors this interior: 2153 Florida Avenue N.W., on one of the long residential avenues that run northwest from downtown Washington. The photograph dates to roughly the 1920s, when rowhouses and detached homes filled neighborhoods like this one, and the furnishings and wall treatments suggest the modest comfort of the period's middle-class households. The print is undated beyond that estimated range, so its exact year is uncertain, but it offers a useful glimpse of how ordinary Washington families arranged their homes between the wars.
