Hospitals like this one in the nation's capital were built around homeopathy, the system of medicine Samuel Hahnemann developed in the late 1700s, which relied on highly diluted remedies. The National Photo Company, which documented Washington streets and buildings in the years around 1910 to 1926, is the source of this glass negative, though its title comes from unverified notes and its date is inferred from negatives in the same range. Look for streaks and small blemishes on the plate, which come from the gradual breakdown of its original coating rather than from the scene itself.
