Looking Into the Past: 1340 G Street, Washington, DC
The building in the original photograph was still under construction when this shot was taken, and it’s still there but in some bad shape. Essentially, this particular image comprises the birth and death of a building in Washington.
The building in the far right is the National Bank of Washington building, which is cool but not in great shape anymore either. Everything else is gone, replaced by your typical Washington blahfest.
See this scene today.
