This is What the Metro Center Area Looked Like in 1930

This is what the area around today’s Metro Center looked like in 1930. This photo shows 13th and G St. on May 9th, 1930. Of course, don’t miss the Wilkins Coffee sign in the image below and then check out this photo of Robert DeNiro’s doppelganger.

  3. This is awesome. My office is one the buildings beyond the church built in 1927 and we always wonder about the building. Thank you!

  4. Just a short note about this area. I worked for C&P Telephone Co. in 1950 in the Mather Bldg at 9th and G NW. I was a messenger and I knew most everyone between 9th and 14th ST. Love this site and all that you send. If I knew more maybe I could send some things to you. Thanks and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all.
