Description
This postcard from 1913 shows the Mall and Pennsylvania Avenue. The building in the left foreground is the old Botanic Garden conservatory, with the Bartholdi Fountain between it and Pennsylvania Avenue. Business and residential buildings are still standing between 3rd and 4th Streets where the National Gallery of Art is today. Beyond them is the dome of the National Museum of Natural History and the Washington Monument.
