The Library of Congress titles this print “Prohibition officers raiding the lunch room of 922 Pa. Ave., Wash., D.C.” and dates it 25 April 1923. The Library’s record credits the National Photo Company Collection. The street number comes from the title as printed, and the same caption is lettered on the print. Neither gives a quadrant of the city (Pennsylvania Avenue runs through both the northwest and southeast quadrants).
This is Washington, not New York or Chicago, and the record names no proprietor, defendant or charge. It is filed as an enforcement scene of the period.
