The record gives us only a title, a generic subject line and a gallery board, so the picture's specific subject is a government building in Washington, DC, identified only as "New." That word suggests the photograph was taken when the structure was relatively new, a common point of interest for city views of the period. Washington's federal buildings were a major focus of construction from the late 1800s into the early 1900s, as the capital expanded its offices, museums and courthouses along the monumental core. Images like this one often record how such buildings stood out against streets still lined with horse-drawn traffic, which is worth noticing when comparing it to the city today.
