Trailer Trad Time Travel: Washington D.C.'s Center Market
I found these cool old photos of the long-gone Center Market at the National Archives Flicker page. The market was located where the National Archives is today, bounded by Pennsylvania Avenue, Constitution Ave, 7th Street, and 9th Street, NW. It was designed by Adolph Cluss and was built in 1871. It was demolished in the 1920s presumably to make way for the present Archives building.

Do you suppose that J. Ochershausen's had Half Price Burger Night?
Whitey,
Those studs in the white shop coats would have offered a bushel of oysters, a half-gallon of Old Heurich suds, and a pickled egg all for a nickel.
I got five bucks and I'm firing up the time machine!
