Identifying a 1930s Building in DC: Can the GoDC Community Help?

Help GoDC identify a 1930s building in DC - can you recognize the "435" on the transom? Check out the Library of Congress photo and see if you can find the building's exact location. Have a guess? Let us know!
"Auto wreck. December 31, 1923." Continuing this week's theme of vehicular mishaps on (and off) the roads of Washington, D.C. On New Year's Eve, this car was in the drink. See the comments for details about this fatal accident in the Tidal Basin. National Photo Company Collection glass negative.

Does this building still stand? I can see the “435” on the transom, but I’m not quite sure where this is. Let’s see if the GoDC community can identify this spot and send us the Google Street View of it today. The photo is from the mid-1930s.

UPDATE: It appears that the consensus vote puts this building at 435 M St. NW. And, it’s still there.
