An Incredible Look Back: A Photo of the JCC at 16th and Q from When It Opened in 1926

Take a look back in time with this incredible photo from 1926. It shows the Jewish Community Center (JCC) at 16th and Q shortly after it opened.
Washington, D.C., circa 1922. "Star Building from air." The Washington Star newspaper building at the center is at the intersection of 11th Street N.W. and Pennsylvania Avenue, which runs diagonally across the photo. The big building with the tower us the Old Post Office. There's a lot to see here, including laundry hung out to dry. National Photo Company glass negative.
First Congregational Church (10 and G Streets NW) c. 1946. Bert Sheldon Photograph Collection, HSW.

This great old photo shows the JCC at 16th and Q back when it opened in 1926.
