Sarah Sammis<p>Spent a couple hours tracking down evidence of a brick wall that has mostly been torn down at a location in Washington D.C.

Sarah Sammis<p>I'm scanning slides today. I have photo of an ornate room... walls are a golden color. Seats are upholstered in red. There's a woman in a red dress who is visiting. There's a man dressed casually but the way he's sitting and the way he looks completely at ease in this setting makes me suspect he is important.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SlideScanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SlideScanning</span></a></p>
Sarah Sammis<p>Another shot of the same room. It's Christmas 1959 and the TV is on.

Sarah Sammis<p>There's no date on this slide.
