Georgetown University Hospital, 35th Street N.W. in Washington, circa 1924. National Photo Company Collection glass negative. View full size.
The building is now Loyola Hall -- student housing.
The photo was taken at 35th and N.
This looks like the building, but did they cut it in half and just save the facade?

No traffic signs?
Where's car 24 and car 26?
I was born there, too, in 1943. My birth certificate was issued by the Department of Agriculture!
I noticed no stop or yield signs of any kind other than the "Slo School." When did traffic lights and stop signs become commonplace or required by law?
I was born there about 41 years later. They saved my life. Elsewhere, the experimental surgery would not have been possible. In 1924, I definitely would not have made it!
I like the "Slo School" sign on the right. It almost looks hand painted.
