Take a look back in time and explore Scott Circle in Washington, D.C. in April 1943. Check out this great post and aerial view of the circle, as well as a hand-drawn map by Alexander Graham Bell.

There are horse-drawn carriages and carts, vendors, storefronts, and the Old Post Office is in background, center.
