Then and Now: Riggs National Bank – 15th and Pennsylvania Ave. NW

Here is a nice “Then and Now” shot of the old Riggs National Bank across from the Department of Treasury. I found this in the Smithsonian’s Flickr feed. The first one is from 1919 and the one below is today’s shot from Google Street View.
