EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1920, showcases the impressive facade of the State, War, and Navy Building in Washington D.C. During this period, the United States was undergoing significant growth and transformation, and the architecture of its buildings reflected the country's newfound confidence and prosperity. The State, War, and Navy Building, also known as the Old Executive Office Building, stands proudly in the heart of the nation's capital. The Second Empire-style structure, with its distinctive Mansard roof and ornate detailing, served as the headquarters for various government departments, including the War and Navy Departments. The photograph captures the building's grandeur, with the American flag flying high above the roofline, flanked by smaller flags. The large banner bearing the stars and stripes of the United States flag is prominently displayed, a symbol of national pride and unity. People can be seen milling about on the sidewalk in front of the building, adding a sense of activity and energy to the scene. The photograph was taken during the 1910s or 1920s, a time of great change in American history. The United States was emerging as a global superpower, and the country's buildings, including the State, War, and Navy Building, reflected this new status. Today, the building continues to serve an important role, housing various offices and departments of the federal government, including the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. This photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable archive of American history. The collection, which includes over 30,000 glass negatives, provides a unique window into the past, allowing us to explore and learn from the history of our country.
