When I worked in DC back in the mid-1980s, I was in the Cannon House Office Building on Independence Avenue and 1st Street, SE, a stone's throw from the House in the capitol. It's twin, the Russell Senate Office building, is located on Constitution Avenue and 1st Street, NE. The buildings are nearly identical and I can't tell from the photo which one this is. I think it's the Russell Building, but I wouldn't swear to it.
The Russell SOB is almost identical to the Cannon HOB. This is the former; I worked in the latter. Get a load of that station wagon!

Our heat wave is showing signs of breaking. The mornings are getting cooler and the afternoon highs are getting lower. It's still hot, though.
Wow! The years we were there SG, worked on 2nd Street and Independence Avenue in the Library of Congress Adams Building. Imagine the number of times we crossed paths!
ReplyDeleteIt's so amazing that you were there at the same time. Wow!
DeleteWhere I learned about the show of Congressional hearings.
ReplyDeletemitch, we must have! And then, again in SF, living within a few blocks of each other. Spooky!
ReplyDeletetravel, my job was administrative, not legislative, so I didn't spend much time in committee hearings.
The hearings are extensively stage managed.
