Description
Colorized photo from 1922
Original title: Center Market
Location: 7th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
This is the Center Market in Washington DC, it was one of the first grocery stores of its time, and stores were designed around this place. It had wide isles to walk in, it was inside and lit, with good ventilation. Everyone set up stalls inside and out. The floors looked like they were dirt based.
This image had big halos around the lights, which I more or less removed and then added my own glow (because I didn't like how ring shaped the others were).
Oddly only the center lights show movement. Makes me wonder if the roof was moving, because all the other lights in this were still, but those have a moderate amount of swing, its easier to see it in the original.
