Take a look back at Morrison Street in DC with this old photo of 3926-3928 Morrison St. NW and compare it to what it looks like today with Google Street View. See how the streets used to be dirt roads!

On in the fall of 1932, the structures in rear of the District Building would be razed to make way for the U.S. Department of Labor building, whose cornerstone would be laid on December 15, 1932
