Washington, D.C., circa 1907. "Bond Building, Fourteenth Street and New York Avenue N.W." 8x10 inch glass negative, National Photo Company Collection. View full size.
Those can't be window washers on the building on the far right. There are no windows on their level. My guess is they're installing windows. The building appears to be under construction based on all the materials out in front and the clean stone edifice. The support beams protruding from the windows are most likely anchored to the unfinished interior.
Looks more likely that the building is under construction or perhaps renovation.
Probably secured with "lotsa" sandbags and a long lever arm.
What do you suppose is anchoring the inside end of those beams from which the window washers' scaffold is hanging?
