Viewing Album:  WASHINGTON, D.C., mid-1950's
 
By:EDWARD J. OZOG
Dates:8/25/1955 - 5/3/1957
Album Info:I visited Washington, D.C. twice while in high school. I shot the first group of pictures during my first visit in 1955 ( I don't have the exact date). All were taken of trains on the Potomac River bridge from a location south of the bridge not too far from the Jefferson Memorial. My family stayed at a motel close-by to the photo location but now long gone. The second group was taken at the Union Station on May 3, 1957.
