A Look Back at Southwest Washington, D.C. Before the War

Take a look back at Southwest Washington, D.C. before the war with this amazing photograph of two young boys. See how the area was before it was destroyed and rebuilt in the ugly, brutalist style that stands today.

Amazing photograph here of two young boys in Southwest during World War II, before the quadrant was pretty much obliterated and rebuilt in the ugly, brutalist style that stands today. What a shame.

November 1942. Washington, D.C. "Southwest section. Two Negro boys." Large format negative by Gordon Parks, Office of War Information.
