The Mrs. Dudley Morgan House is known from a glass negative made by the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C. studio that documented the city and its surroundings in the early twentieth century. The title comes from data the company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and the library notes that it has not been independently verified, so the name is best treated as a working label. The date falls between 1910 and 1925, a range assigned by comparison with other negatives in the same group. Visible streaks and blemishes on the glass are the result of natural deterioration in the original coatings, which is worth keeping in mind when looking at its surface.
