Description |
English: This building was constructed in 1865 and 1866, and was meant to be the building for the Washington City Orphan Asylum (see another photo here). Secretary of State Seward apparently made an urgent appeal for the building, and it was leased to the Department of State upon completion as their headquarters for "a decade". The 1865 State Department building seen in File:State Department Building, Washington, D. C., 1865.png was torn down in 1866 to make room to finish the (current-day) Treasury Department building. A decade later, the orphanage did get to move in. The building, located at the southeast corner of 14th and S streets NW, was torn down in 1963. The orphanage (today known as Hillcrest) had earlier moved to other buildings in the 1920s or 1930s. The architect was John C. Harkness. - (lightly edited from remarks by Carl Lindberg, originally made at User talk:Jmabel/Stereo cards of Washington, D.C.) |

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
