It seems to me that identifying the location of this photo as Maryland was a an assumption based on one of the two license plates seen; see discussion at User_talk:Yann#File:Auto_wreck.2C_Maryland.2C_1923.jpg. The Library of Congress description does not state a location. If anyone has info or evidence about the location of this photo, please share.

Maryland location is, as far as I can see, no more than a guess based on incomplete understanding of US license plates of the era; I have requested image be renamed. Caption should not state the guess as if it were fact. -- Infrogmation (talk) 00:59, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent, location in Washington, D.C. identified from Library of Congress building seen in background! -- Infrogmation (talk) 02:19, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Would you add Category:Thomas Jefferson Building to the description page? I tried to find a recent view of the building from the same point of view as "other_version", but there isn't one in the category. -- User:Docu at 06:27, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
