A glass negative labeled "Times" with the address 2104 16th Street Southeast places this view on a specific block of Washington, D.C., though the title comes from unverified notes written by the National Photo Company. The company, a commercial studio active in the capital in the early twentieth century, photographed streets, businesses, and public buildings for sale and reference, so this image reflects the working city of its era. The negative came to the Library of Congress as a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French, and it shows the streaks and blemishes that often appear on glass plates as their coatings age.
