The title is supplied by the cataloguer, so the photograph's exact view is not certain, but it shows one of the buildings the Treasury Department used beyond its main headquarters beside the White House. Federal agencies in Washington expanded rapidly in the early twentieth century, and annexes like this one were added to house clerks and records as the government's paperwork grew. The National Photo Company, a commercial firm that produced views of the capital between about 1900 and 1920, made many such images of government buildings for sale to visitors. Its pictures now offer a useful record of how the federal city looked as it grew.
