The Treasury Building As It Looked During the Civil War

Stunning old image of the Treasury building during the Civil War.
Map of Georgetown in 1915
Street scene in Washington, D.C., winter of 1941-42. 4x5 Kodachrome transparency by Louise Rosskam, probably taken near the N and Union intersection of her other shots. Clues are the Chung Wah laundry at 1264, the J. Marucci barbershop and the A. Peterman clothing store.

What an incredible photo of the Treasury Department.
