Two stone gateposts and a pair of signs mark the entrance in this view, a detail that sets it apart from the broader street scenes and monuments that fill the rest of the Washington, D.C. board. Gateposts like these were common in the city's older residential and institutional districts, where iron fences and carved entry piers announced property lines and gave a neighborhood its formal character. Look closely at the lettering and the masonry, since these small elements often reveal the period's taste for craftsmanship and the way owners presented their grounds to passersby.
