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.

A Look Back at 21st and C St. NW in 1924 (Mislabeled as 1916)
I remember that y’all used to include pics of what a place looks like now on Street View compared to “back then.” I mean, I’m sure I have been to 21st and C Sts, but I can’t recall it offhand and would appreciate a pic! 🙂
It might be tough because that’s the State Department site now.
We used that image in the book Foggy Bottom and the West End –where you can read more about it. http://www.amazon.com/Foggy-Bottom-West-Vintage-Images/dp/1596293322/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406867054&sr=8-1&keywords=foggy+bottom+and+the+west+end
