Description
Colorized photo from 1901
Original title: View probably of G Street, N.W., South side
Photographer: D.C Street survey
Location: 1204 G St NW, Washington DC
It's hard finding streets in Washington, they have compass directions and if any of the street names shifted or changed over they years, it makes it hard to find things. That said, the image is marked G St, because that cart said G St. But another building on the corner said F St, so I have no idea where this is, other than neither street has these buildings. And in another direction, there are houses from this era, with original sidewalks, but no buildings that looked like these. Right now there are huge buildings up, and I couldn't find info as to why they removed all of these.
I liked the homey, slice of life feel to this. It's casual, the type of shot where you could just feel like you've been there before. Strolling on the sidewalk, chatting with the store owners, picking up parts for your gas lamp shade. In other words, a typical day out.
I think its either the fall or the spring, There are few leaves, a few on the ground and the ones up there are light colored. These are probably early trees, because there is a whole series of this location and the trees are all sorts of colors.
