The map
Each circle is a place, sized by how many photographs we have of it. Pick a decade or subject to see where the cameras went; tap a circle to see its pictures.
Base map drawn for this site from U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line 2024 (public domain): today's streets, parks and water, with post-1950 freeways left out. The shoreline and parts of the Mall and Potomac Park looked different in 1915; see each place's “then and now” note.
