Looking Into the Past: Thomas Circle, Washington, DC

    Newer Older

    I'm not going to lie to you, this is one of my favorites.

    Just about everything except for the statue and the church spire has changed. New buildings, bushes gone, sidewalk there, etc.

    See this scene today.

    Original photo taken in 1911, courtesy of the Library of Congress and discovered via Shorpy.
