The title links this glass negative to Breckenridge Long, the diplomat and assistant secretary of state, though the Library of Congress has not verified it. The National Photo Company worked in Washington, D.C., in the early 1920s, recording the city's buildings and homes for commercial use. This plate, dated to about 1922 or 1923, shows streaks and blemishes from deterioration in its original coating, so some fine detail has faded. It is best viewed as a document of a capital residence from that period.
