    This is possibly H.E. Elphinstone of the Cross-Country Club, Baltimore. According to the New York Times June 13, 1909 article, Y.M.C.A. Boy Wins Marathon, he came in second in the 1909 Washington Marathon.
  • Harry Angstrom said:
    Unusual name, he must somehow be related to the terrible British general Elphinstone, whose actions led to British Army massacre in Afghanistan, as described in the novel "Flashman" by George MacDonald Fraser, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_George_Keith_Elphinstone

    I saw this print recently (MLK Library, perhaps?) and loved it. Great shot. Can anyone tell me where this is? What building that is? What streets/intersection this is? Thanks.
  • S Jones said:
    Ivan Sciupac: That's a tough one. I wandered around with Google Streetview to try to find the building and, frankly, trying to find a columned building in Washington is like trying to find a snowflake in Aspen. However, the double-columned style is fairly unique while bearing a resemblance to many of the buildings around the Federal Archives. Still, I had no luck. Maybe somebody with more time than I have could use Google Streetview to find it by following the old trolley routes: Wikipedia: Streetcars in Washington D.C..

    Thanks, pixeljones. Nice analogy! I might just try walking around the area and see what I can find. Actually, now that I look at it in a larger size, I'm reminded of 17th Street with the building possibly being OEOB? I think I might be right about this. At least, it's possible. Look at the MAP. The Red "Washington and Georgetown" Line crossed in front of the White House and went up Pennsylvania.
