So nice to see all those historical buildings as they were back then.

Igen, 104 évvel ezelött . De ezek a házak nagyrésze az 1800 években épült. Igy bepillantást nyerünk az 1800as évek városába. Hatalmas kortörténeti dokumentum. Thanks. ❤

Thank you for the look back. I can help with some modern day perspectives to really put some of those things in color at the beginning of your video. The video starts in Alexandria, Virginia Opening: Athenium 201 Prince St 0:15 Ramsay House 221 King St.(Oldest house in Alexandria) 0:28 Gadsby's Tavern 138 N. Royal St 0:38 Henry "Lighthorse Harry" Lee Home 611 Cameron St. 0:49 Christ Church Alexandria 118 N. Washington St. 0:56 Lloyd House 220 North Washington Street 1:08 Carlyle House (the back side of the house) 121 N. Fairfax St. At 1:37 they're in DC at Ford's Theatre.

[@DavidHernandez-oc1oz]

Thank you for confirming the opening scene. My sister was born in Alexandria and I've seen lots of old pictures of it and have been there myself. That was my first thought-that it was Alexandria

[@choggy4214]

Awesome, thank you NASS. This must be pre-1926 because the Capital Hotel was dismantled that year.

Keep in mind, this is not a modern video, it is an altered FILM, digitized, with speed and color enhancements.

Both my mom and dad were born in 1919. What a delight to look back into the years where they were young and impressionable! You leave such a wonderful And educational View into times before us! Thank you for sharing these extraordinary moments❤

[@hestheMaster]

The early 1920's we had President Warren G. Harding from 1921 -1923 when he died Calvin Coolidge his VP was made President. He served the remaining term and a full single term and didn't run again as he wanted to retire. As Mr. Ford said, "you can have any color automobile you want as long as it was black." That radio antenna on the old Naval Observatory building at 6:34 in is a Western Electric Co. design from 1922! This film is exactly from 100 years ago! Thanks NASS!

One more thing, imagine being a kid back in those days and telling your mom that you’re bored. She probably say here read a book.

[@jec1ny]

This is speculative, but based on cars, some of the clothes I could make out and the absence of the Lincoln Memorial (dedicated 1922), I'd date this as very early 1920s. Probably during the presidency of Warren Harding.

[@NASS_0]

As an immigrant I remember when my family and I arrive to Miami International Airport. Was very emotional to know that I will suffer persecution. Miami was a good start,but no to stay for always. We had the chance to learn English start working ,save to travel and see the Historical AmericA. Two place were our goal New York for the Empire State,the Twin Towers, and Wall Street and then Washington ,1600 Pennsylvania Ave and the government building and the historical Capitol ( by the way in my country of birth ,the Capitol was built imitating the American One.) How many emotions standing in front of those building ,how many episode and event happened inside those buildings!. The women’s voter discussion to mention only one. As I always say those footages are historical,to being kept in archives. Thanks!👏👏👏🤓🤓🤓

[@NASS_0]

yes!!!

[@eascec8374]

I think this is filmed during Calvin Coolidge's presidency, but I could be wrong.

[@kvernon1]

It would either be that of Warren Hardling, Calvin Coolidge, or Herbert Hoover's, depending on the year. We are not told specifically what year it is, but one commenter stated the Capital Hotel was dismantled in 1926, so if true, that would narrow it down to the first two presidents on the list.

[@jec1ny]

Based on the cars and absence of some major monuments like the Lincoln Memorial, I'd guess very early 20s. Probably Harding's time.

[@3rdandlong]

Wow. Not really much traffic. No traffic lights. No CNN. No sirens blaring. No drugged out people walking around. No one out screaming at Congress with banners and flags. Fairly typical day then. And none of these people are around any more.

"Bad old days."

[@proudvirginian]

​@@R50_J0it wasn't all that great in the 1990's either. It has come a long way since then. So many places have been cleaned up and revitalized. It's so much better than it was 30 years ago (not at all perfect and there are obviously parts you don't want to visit). The U Street corridor is so much different. A lot of North Capitol has changed for the better. I remember prostitutes hanging out near Ford's Theater. I can't remember the last time I saw them downtown at night. If you ask me, the absolute worst part of DC these days is the traffic.
