Among the Washington views on this board, this one shows the Library of Congress Annex, which was later named the Jefferson Building and stands just east of the Capitol. Its record ties it to the library's Architecture and Engineering drawings, so it likely reflects design work rather than a finished street scene. Construction ran through the 1890s, and the building opened in 1897 to relieve crowding at the Capitol, where the library had outgrown its space. Its ornate Beaux-Arts interiors made it a showpiece of the city's civic architecture.
