The title points to the Washington home of A. Mitchell Palmer, the U.S. attorney general, which was damaged in a bomb attack on June 2, 1919, when anarchists set off explosions at the homes of several officials in cities across the country. The record describes that title as unverified and dates the negative only to a range between 1918 and 1928, so the link is a reasonable reading rather than a confirmed fact. The National Photo Company, a Washington studio that documented the capital and its surroundings in the early twentieth century, made the glass plate, which shows the streaks and blemishes common in aging emulsion.
