- Kresge at 216 and show store at 214 South Washington Avenue. From directly across South Washington Avenue. To the rear looms the Masonic Temple that faces South Capitol Avenue. City Planning Division staff trimmed the photo. It appears the trimming was intended to mate the photo with 2015-06-003.V7.045 although the perspectives are different enough to make the Masonic Temple in the background appear twice if these photos were actually composited.
