This photograph documents a house in Washington, D.C., built as the residence of R. B. Roosevelt, Esq., a member of the Roosevelt family whose name is tied to the city's domestic architecture. The image was taken in 1923, but the print in the Library of Congress's collection is a copy made around 1990, so it reflects the photographic record of the house rather than an original print from the period. Washington in the 1920s was a city of large private residences along its avenues and in the northwest neighborhoods, where prominent families built homes that showed their social standing. Architectural views like this one are useful for studying how those houses were designed, sited, and presented to the street.
