Unseen Angle: Dazzling View of the Washington Monument From the Old State, War, and Navy Building

Here’s a terrific old photograph that we dug up. We’ve never seen this angle before, showing the top of the Washington Monument, as viewed from the old State, War, and Navy Building.

  1. Tom, thanks again for your time and effort in the treasures you share with us!

    I had worked most of the day searchng for just the right thing to send to a friend who had been in the USNR in WWII.

    Tom, thanks again for sharing so much with all of us!

    I have spent hours today trying to find somethng “new” to share with a friend who was in the USNR in WWII. After his boot training, he was transfered to the Navy Dept in DC, so what coud be more fitting than to send him a copy of this wonderful old photo and information?!

    Bles you.

    Now he is 86 year old and I constantly search for photos and data I know he will enjoy.

    After boot camp, he was transferred to the Navy Dept. in DC, so what could be more perfect than today’s Washington Monument Seen from State, War, and Navy Building ?!?

    Respectfully,
    Carolyn
