City houses
4 x 5 in. or smaller. This is a 1923 photograph of Green Court alley near Thomas Circle in Washington, D.C. The second floor of the left, red-brick building housed The Krazy Kat, a notorious speakeasy during the heyday of the Jazz Age and still operational at the time this photograph was taken by. Behind the wooden fence was located the speakeasy's exterior courtyard and tree house. This same alleyway can be seen in photographs of The Kat and its patrons.
