Then and Now: 15th Street outside the Treasury
This view of 15th Street is from the 600 block looking north ca. 1915 and today. The current photograph was taken during a weekday lunch hour.
While the scene looks familiar, most components have changed over the years. There is no longer an active entrance to the Treasury Department from 15th Street, the B.F. Keith theatre has been replaced by the Old Ebbitt Grill, the buildings between G Street and New York Avenue have been completely replaced, and the old National Savings & Trust Co. is now a Sun Trust Bank.
