EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "District of Columbia Supreme Court Being Remodeled, 1917," captures a significant moment in the history of the District of Columbia's judicial system. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image showcases the ongoing construction process of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia as it undergoes a major remodeling project. The photograph offers a glimpse into the industrial side of the construction industry during the early 20th century. Workers can be seen busily engaged in various tasks, from lifting heavy building materials with the help of lifting gear to clearing debris from the site. The exterior of the courthouse is partially obscured by scaffolding, while new sections of the building begin to take shape. The scene is populated by a diverse group of men, all contributing to the progress of the project. Among them are George William Harris, one of the founders of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, and his wife, Martha Ewing Harris. George's business partner, Ewing Newcombe, and Martha Kuntze Newcombe, Martha's sister, are also present. The photograph is an essential addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, providing a unique perspective on the evolution of the District of Columbia Supreme Court and the construction industry during this period. The image not only showcases the transformation of the building but also offers a glimpse into the lives of the people involved in the project.
