This week’s images are streetscapes of American cities from 1917 and 1918. Images were pulled from RG 4-G: U.S.Food Administration. Do you recognize any of these places? Can you imagine walking along these streets during WWI?
Unknown City (4-G-29-75)Palace Hotel, Cincinnati, Ohio (4-G-29-29)Sign Day, Washington, DC (4-G-29-110B)Red Cross Headquarters, Chicishaw (sic), Oklahoma (4-G-29-47)Colonial Theater, Richmond, Virginia (4-G-29-76)Unknown City (4-G-29-7)Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio (4-G-29-66)City Hall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (4-G-29-3)Balto (sic), Maryland (4-G-25-3)Slate St., Albany, New York (4-G-25-2)N.Y.

I think the Unidentified City in “4-G-29-7” is City Hall in Philadelphia!
I believe Unknown City (4-G-29-7) is the City Hall in Philadelphia, PA, viewed possibly from Market Street (east) side. It’s in the French Second Empire style just like the Old Executive Office Building in DC.
I also believe Unknown City (4-G-29-75) might be a torn-down building in Philadelphia because Kaier Co. was a brewing company based in eastern Pennsylvania.
