I like the stances they each have. It has a lot to say.

"At N and Union Streets S.W., in Washington, D.C." This one could actually be geotagged!

Interesting engagement. See the largest size; the boys appear to have been discussing their next football play or deciding whether to keep playing or not. Was it autumn? Long shadows...any ideas on time of day?

"At N and Union Streets S.W., in Washington, D.C" Can't find it on "birdseye" at MSN live maps... Anyone have a better address to try?

@Dan4th & rrsafety: [it appears Union St is long gone, likely eaten up by Ft McNair or some development project...] It looks like iris.schimandle knows where this is.

Love the wrought iron stairs!!!

Seems more likely to be a row house than a school.

Title: Pride of Our Fathers

Given the Blue Star Mothers flag in the window (see previous photo's comments), I'd say it's almost certainly a row house.

On the other hand, wouldn't a 'Sector Post' for an Air Raid Warden more likely be in a public building, such as an unused room in a school? Or would is simply be in the Warden's home?

I love this photo

Any idea what street this is?

This is the same storefronts from a few photos back, but it must be a later date: the store on the right looks closed, and the hanging sign is missing from outside the laundry store.
