The dining room of the Shoreham Hotel, a large Beaux-Arts hotel on Connecticut Avenue in northwest Washington, is the subject here, shot in the 1930s by Theodore Horydczak. Horydczak spent decades photographing the city's buildings and interiors, and his work documents how the capital looked between the wars. Hotels like the Shoreham were social centers for visitors and residents alike, hosting banquets, receptions, and society events. The record notes that its data comes from an unverified caption card, so the exact date and room details should be treated with some caution.
