Interior Views

Photos from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

Selected, scanned and digitally repaired by Tracy White, Researcher @ Large, who comments: "A lot of them [the pictures] had some form of physical damage that looked to me like a chemical / development issue; maybe the prints weren't fully washed before they were stacked and some residue had a chance to damage the negative material over time."
