The subject is the exterior of a building associated with Wm. Rosendorf, though the National Photo Company's title is unverified and the record does not document the business itself. The date of about 1924 is inferred from negatives in the same range rather than from anything in the image. The National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., produced many street and building views on glass plates like this one in the early twentieth century. Streaks and blemishes on the glass come from the natural breakdown of the original coatings, so they reflect the negative's age more than the scene itself.
