  2. You might find this interesting…
    A check dated Jan 3, 1900 (Note- the preprinted “189-” is crossed out) The red stamp marked ‘I.R.” is to note that 2cents tax was paid on the transaction, as the Internal Revenue laws of the time required tax to be paid on financial transactions of all kinds.

  3. The building on the left is a great shot of the old Freedman’s bank on Lafayette Square. it had gone under by the time this picture was taken.
