Alexandria Baby Clinic

  Wow. Those are some serious hats!

• Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:

  Yes, those Edwardian hats look like they also weigh a ton!

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Sanità, un po' di anni addietro, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

  An exterior shot of the clinic:

Citizens of Arlington, Virginia Are Warned to Avoid All Contact with the Polluted Potomac River. This Sign Advises Immediate Medical Attention If Prolonged Exposure Occurs. 08/1972

from U.S. National Archives

• Ken Mayer said:

  The sign in the photo says Alexandria, so I believe the catalog data is wrong. Presumably the error came from the erroneous original caption? I'd like to tag this with the correct info, but tagging is disabled.

• The U.S. National Archives said:

  Thanks for this comment, Ken! Very good eye for spotting "Alexandria" on that sign in the Potomac River. Arlington and Alexandria are so close together on the Potomac it would be hard to determine exactly where the photo was taken and the location of the sign. Perhaps others can weigh in with thoughts and opinions. Also, we corrected the tagging restrictions on this photo set and you should now be able to add tags. Jerry (U.S. National Archives)
