Terrific 1918 Photograph of Mount Vernon

What did Mount Vernon look like in 1918?
Interior view of Center Market showing the interior architecture of the market, a variety of stalls, blurred people, and signs reading "THIS MARKET OPEN EVERY WEEK DAY" and "LADIES' WAITING ROOM LADIES'... 7th St. WING TAKE ELEVATOR."
First Congregational Church (10 and G Streets NW) c. 1946. Bert Sheldon Photograph Collection, HSW.

Here is a great photo that we found at the Library of Congress. It shows Mount Vernon, almost 100 years ago.
