Take a look back at the Potomac Park Apartments in 1924, the location of the Department of State today. See what this area of 21st and C St. NW looked like back then with a photo from the Library of Congress and Shorpy.

21st and C St. NW looked very different back around 1924 (mislabeled by the Library of Congress as 1916). The photo below shows the Potomac Park Apartments. This is the location of the Department of State today.
