Washington, D.C., circa 1924. "U.S. Patent Office Building, Ninth and F Streets N.W." Now the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. 8x10 glass negative by Harris & Ewing. View full size.
The Patent Office building not only houses the National Portrait Gallery, it also houses the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM). Like all the Smithsonian museums, both have free entry.
I have a half dozen patents and don't understand any of them.
