Lansburgh & Brother, Washington, D.C.

Lansburgh's, one of Washington, D.C.'s
oldest department stores.

The store advertised its new 1925 addition
in newspapers with this sketch.

Lansburgh's as viewed from the corner
of 8th and 'E' Streets.

The oldest part of Lansburgh's was  located
on 7th street, but it sported a modernistic
facade applied in 1940.

The E Street side of the Lansburgh
& Brother store, composed of the
Busch Building (acquired 1921) and
the store's own 1914 building.
