Description
Colorized photo from 1912
Original Title: View of 7th st, looking south from I St.
Location: 833 7th St NW Washington, DC
I'm not sure about the exact year, they gave me a range of 1900-1905. But the flag on top of that building has 48 stars on it. And the flag site, said that they started showing that from 1912. Though they also said that a few places did start using it in 1896, in anticipation of the new states. But to be on the safe side, I kept it as 1912.
The flags are all at half mast, so someone important must have died that day, don't know who though.
The original was in shadow on the left, and a lot of awnings on the right. Pulling up the detail and then blending in the noise was a bit of a chore. The original sky was cloudy with a bit of overcast, it might have rained, but I see no umbrella's, and people are on bikes. But the road is wet in spots, they may have just wet the street.
I think it was taken in the summer, all the windows are open, and it must be windy, as all the curtains are outside.
