    Does anyone know what that little cloth sign in everyone's window means? The one with the blue star surrounded by the red border? I think my mom told me a long time ago that it meant you could go to that house if you were lost or in trouble or something, but people don't have them anymore :(

    I'm rushed with a feeling of "home" when I look at this photo....though I was born many years later and never lived in D.C. I have to keep coming back to take a peek into the past. I'm curious about the narrow pocket between the doors...is that a passage to the back of the building?
  • Linda Causey said:
    I think the cloth sign in the window indicates that a member of the family is in the service.

[Row houses, corner of N and Union Streets S.W., Washington, D.C.] (LOC)

  • perfgeek said:
    Is there a corner of N and Union Street in DC?
  • iris.schimandle said:
    The corner in question is now the West end of N St. SW , at roughly 38.874676,-77.018784 (found using Google Maps). What used to be Union St. ran perpendicular to that point between M and O Streets. From the satellite images, it doesn't look like any of the buildings remain. Anyone know what that new development is?

    Here's the present day satellite photo.

    The area is currently occupied by condos and apartment buildings, none of which are architecturally noteworthy or distinguished. Arena Stage is also located in the general vicinty. Southwest Washington was once alive with people and streetlife. The urban "renewal" of the 1950s and 60s turned the area into a clean but sterile urban wasteland.
