The caption "Brinkman, Central, 23" is the only identifying label on this 1923 glass negative, and it has not been verified, so the subject may be a building, a business, or a street location. The negative belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, the body of work produced by a Washington, D.C., commercial studio that photographed the city's streets, buildings, and events in the early twentieth century. It came to the Library of Congress as a gift from Herbert A. French in 1947. Viewers should look for the streaks and blotches that the record attributes to the natural breakdown of the original emulsion, which are part of the negative's physical history.
