Delaware Avenue: 1901
Washington, D.C., circa 1901. "An elevated view of Delaware Avenue S.W. between H & G streets from the Randall School." Large structure on the horizon is the Pension Office, now the National Building Museum. 8x10 glass negative, D.C. Street Survey Collection. View full size.
Trees
Why are all the trees protected, were they newly planted?

Little trees
I couldn’t help noticing the little trees lining both sides of this block. So I streetviewed what I believe to be the current stretch of this block (Delaware Avenue SW does weird things between H and G streets – some adjacent streets are mysteriously unlabeled and unstreetviewable, so I may be wrong) and I’m happy to report that there are now grand mature trees in evidence.
I Spy National Building Museum
The large building in the distance is the National Building Museum.

National Building Museum now
The Pension Office is now the National Building Museum. The interior is even more impressive than the exterior. For a photo see: https://www.nbm.org/about/
