I was browsing the Streets of Washington Flickr page, a collection of historical photos and postcards, and found some cool ones of the Old Soldiers’ Home, now called the Armed Forces Retirement Home just east of our area.

The one with two photos is from a stereopticon, a kind of 3D imaging tool like a Viewfinder.
And here it is in 2012, from Google Maps
