Title
The U.S. Capitol.
Description
English: I'm virtually certain the two towers there are from the Trinity Episcopal Church (this one), which was located on the northeast corner of 3rd and C streets NW. The buildings in front would then have been along Indiana avenue, between 3rd and 4½ street [John Marshall Place]. The other road angling off to the left (you just see a small portion between the trees and the edge of the picture) would be D street. The photo would have been taken from the City Hall, today the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, and the trees in front would have been the bottom edge of the park the City Hall was located in. The church, and most of those buildings, are today occupied by the Department of Labor building. That angled stretch of Indiana Avenue no longer exists (though the the mirror section on the other side of 5th street still does), as the Department of Labor building sits on that entire area. - (lightly edited from remarks by Carl Lindberg, originally made at User talk:Jmabel/Stereo cards of Washington, D.C.)

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
Public domain
This media file is in the public domain in the United States. This applies to U.S. works where the copyright has expired, often because its first publication occurred prior to January 1, 1929, and if not then due to lack of notice or renewal. See this page for further explanation.
United States
United States
This image might not be in the public domain outside of the United States; this especially applies in the countries and areas that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works, such as Canada, Mainland China (not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany, Mexico, and Switzerland. The creator and year of publication are essential information and must be provided. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
