Landmarks visible in this image include the embassies of the Spanish, French, Mexican, Italian, Polish, Cuban, Persian and Lithuanian. The Scottish Rite Masonic Temple is also visible in this image. Originally, many of the embassies were located on 16th Street due to its proximity to the White House, however, a plethora of churches also moved in.
