The title, People's Com'l & Savings Bank, comes from the sleeve that accompanied this glass negative, so it has not been independently verified against other records. The plate was made by the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., firm that documented street scenes, businesses and civic life in the years around 1918 to 1921. Glass negatives of this size were the standard working medium of commercial photographers of the period, prized for their fine detail. The streaks and blemishes on the surface come from the natural deterioration of the original emulsion coatings, a common condition in plates of this age.
