Below is a great engraving from Harper’s back in 1874. It depicts the old newspaper row in Washington.

Where was “Newspaper Row”?
Looks like 14th Street downtown. See: http://wamu.org/programs/metro_connection/12/11/30/strolling_along_dcs_former_newspaper_row
Also, if you look at the full-sized photo, the large building to the left looks like it says “Ebbitt House.” Possibly the origins of Old Ebbitt?
P.S. GoDC, perhaps this is worthy of a full post?
Yep, the building on the left DOES look like the Ebbitt House!
