Solving the Mystery of the Streetcar Stop on 14th Street in 1920

Published Updated 1 min readby

This is a cool photo we found on Shorpy. It shows a few men doing work on the curbs and streetcar stop. Any GoDCers able to recognize where this is on 14th? I can make out a 717 on one of the businesses, which would be just below New York Ave. on the east side.

  1. You can see an address on the side of the building: 717 14th St., which puts this right at the corner of 14th and G.

  4. It looks like the corner of 14th and G St, NW. The building on the corner houses Ceiba now, right? And the far corner, behind the streetcar, is where the derelict National Bank of Washington/Hahn Shoes is, which dates this photo to before 1926 when that building was built.
