North Capitol Street: 1901
Submitted by Dave on Mon, 10/12/2020 - 3:00pm.
Washington, D.C., circa 1901. "View of North Capitol Street N.W., west side, looking south from C Street toward Capitol and B Street (now Constitution Avenue)." 5x7 inch glass negative, D.C. Street Survey Collection. View full size.
By means of dead reckoning --

Provided the "C" Street of 1901 hasn't been relocated since then, this neighborhood should be sitting in what is now the west side of Senate Park. I could be wrong. I'm using a Sextant and an Etch-A-Sketch to calculate the position.
