A watercolor from the second floor of Mrs. John Rodgers's residence on Franklin Row, at K Street between 12th and 13th Streets in Washington, looks down over the backyard and the neighboring blocks. Children stand on the balconies, which gives the scene a domestic, lived-in feel. Views like this were rare in the period, since most surviving images of the capital from 1850 show public buildings or broad streetscapes rather than the working yards and rear elevations of ordinary townhouses. The painting is a useful record of how city residents arranged their outdoor space and watched the life around them.
