The Glen Echo Sign, Night

Atmospheric. It has the look of an Art-Deco building. The whole scene for an outsider like me and for reasons I cannot quite put my finger on, says mid 1950s America

Actually, the complex dates back to the 1890s - the building you're seeing is from the 30s. It began life as an intended housing development, but that failed. Then it was a Chataqua learning center for a couple years, but that went bust after a yellow fever epidemic. It then became an amusement park with the arrival of a street car line from downtown DC (the facade you see was where the street cars dropped off and picked up passengers).

Thanks for the replies on both pics, Scott

I love night shots! This is an interesting one for sure.
