The Old Stone House on East Main Street in Richmond, Virginia, is the subject here, and the title credits it as Washington's headquarters, a local tradition tied to the colonial and Revolutionary era. Photographer James F. Gibson made this 1865 stereograph, a pair of side-by-side images meant to be viewed through a stereoscope for a three-dimensional effect. The year matters: Richmond had just fallen to Union forces, and views like this one documented the former Confederate capital in the months after the war.
