We’re not quite sure where this is, but maybe some GoDCers recognize the buildings. If you do, please comment below.
Street scene in Washington, D.C., winter of 1941-42. 4×5 Kodachrome transparency by Louise Rosskam, probably taken near the N and Union intersection of her other shots. Clues are the Chung Wah laundry at 1264, the J. Marucci barbershop and the A. Peterman clothing store.
Ghosts of DC is a blog about the history of Washington, D.C. and its surroundings. We live in a great city, and it's important for everyone to know a little more about their communities, neighborhoods and city.
The 1939 DC city directory has Andrew Peterman’s home and dry goods store at 1268 Fourth St SW and the 1928 one shows Joseph Marucci’s barber shop at 1266 1/2 Fourth St SW
