This photograph appears to be taken from Blaine Mansion sometime during the 1920s, looking east over Dupont Circle. You can see the Cairo Building in the background.

I love everything you do and appreciate your work. BTW I lived on the 12th floor of the Cairo in 1979-80 and still live 2 blocks off the circle. Thanks!

Riggs bank on the left, People’s Drugs on the right. Note the air vent for the trolly station below the circle.
