The Library of Congress holds this view of the grocery store run by Michael Peter, Jr., at 1047 Thomas Jefferson Street NW in Washington, D.C. Photographs like this one, taken around 1901 or 1902, capture the look of a neighborhood food shop in the early twentieth century, when many family-run stores stocked staples in bulk, sold goods by weight, and extended credit to regular customers. The Goode collection is valued for documenting ordinary commercial life in the city's neighborhoods, not only its monuments and government buildings. Close attention to the storefront, signage and goods on display shows how such businesses presented themselves to passersby.
