EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1912, showcases the bustling activity outside Woodward & Lothrop's Department Store in Washington, D.C. The image, from the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, captures a scene of horse-drawn delivery trucks and vans lined up along the street, ready to unload their goods. The store's grand facade, adorned with ornate glass windows and intricate architectural details, stands proudly in the background. At the time, Woodward & Lothrop was a leading emporium in the nation's capital, known for its extensive selection of merchandise and exceptional customer service. The store's popularity is reflected in the numerous delivery vehicles that could be found outside its doors each day. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horse-drawn vehicles were a common sight on the streets of Washington, D.C. The image also highlights the importance of local industry and the role that companies like Woodward & Lothrop played in the community. Today, this photograph serves as an important historical record, providing valuable insight into the commercial landscape of early 20th century America.
