The subject here is a Homeopathic Hospital in Washington, D.C., a institution that belonged to the city's small but established network of hospitals practicing homeopathy, a system of medicine founded by German physician Samuel Hahnemann in the late 1700s. The National Photo Company, which made views of American cities for postcards and publications in the early 1900s, likely recorded the building for its commercial catalog. The negative is a glass plate, and its streaks and blemishes are typical of age and coating loss, so the image shows the building as much through its wear as through its detail.
