Looking Into the Past: 16th Street NW, Washington, DC
Well, this scene hasn’t changed much at all. The house on the left used to have a balcony on the second floor instead of a full closed floor, but other than that, everything is the same.
The car is a Velie (“a car made in Moline, Ill., by a cousin of John Deere, who invented the steel plow.”). Check out these two great ads for more info (thanks again, Shorpy and Shorpy commenters!).
See this scene today.
