About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Looks like there are 2

Looks like there are 2 people on the building. 2nd person on building to the right all the way at the end below American flag. Looks like he's leaning against the building.

So many of these old photos have something interesting that's hidden to the mere casual observer. It's like "where's Waldo" in every picture!
Man on ledge

Is that a person standing on the ledge on the building to the right just above and to the right of the waving American flag?
[Yes it is. Good eye! - Dave]
