The record places this negative at 1501 Crittenden Drive and gives the name "Herald," though that title comes from unverified information written on the glass or its sleeve. The National Photo Company worked across Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century, recording streets, storefronts and public buildings as the city grew with the expanding federal government. Viewers should notice the streaks and blemishes caused by the natural breakdown of the original glass coating, which give the image a faint, mottled texture.
