Then & Now

Another week, another historic look at Georgetown. In a new Patch-wide effort, neighbors can see historic photos of the community paired with current images of the site. Get a pain-free history lesson once a week.

The pictures today are from Smith Row and were taken in June of 1942. The photos by Charles E. Peterson were part of the Historic American Survey. The homes at Smith Row, 3255-3263 N St. got their name from Colonel James Smith.

Want to see examples elsewhere? Check out other local Then & Now images coming soon to: Ballston, Fairfax City, Oakton, Potomac and North Potomac.
