The lower 200 block of Anacostia Ave. in the early 1950’s (from left, two buildings: 209/207 and 203/201 Ana. Ave). The fire hydrant is at the intersection with Blaine St., and an apartment building is in the background at the end of Ana. Ave. (the E. Capitol St. Bridge was not yet built). The trees in the background are where a playground was installed many years later. (Photo courtesy of M. Grimstead.)
