White Dome: 1925
Another view of the Capitol Refining plant, "Home of White Dome Shortening," just outside Washington circa 1925. Note the Capitol "dome" atop the building. View full size. National Photo Company Collection glass negative.
Naval Radio Station
The two radio towers seen on the hill mid left of the photo are two of the three towers at Navy Radio Station Arlington, call sign NAA. I believe the mold has obliterated the third tower. This station played an important role in the early days of radio communications.
A brief summary can be found here.
The Horror
Giant ameboas attacked many Washington, DC area landmarks today and mysterious mold grew in many locations. Panic set in as streetcars rolled over and cars plunged from bridges. Spokeman Shorpy Higginbotham stated, "Golly gee, folks, It's just negative damage." Sales of Atwater Kent radios shot through the roof and area movie places were packed as the populace attempted to keep up with events. Rumors that the Army will be deployed to city streets have yet to be confirmed.
Boo.
Also note the ectoplasm encircling the building.
