From the December 11, 2016, PARDON MY RACK: 1943.
January 1943. Washington, D.C.. "Girl in the doorway at a boarding house. With Esther Bubley (or her sister Enid) in front." Nearest camera. Esther Bubley, OWI.
It was very crowded at the place they were staying, Dissin's Guest House. The woman in the foreground was Enid. Sisters Enid, Claire and Esther lived in Washington, D.C., during the war. Dissin's was the former mansion of Charles Mather Ffoulke at 2013 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, now the site of the Embassy Row Hotel.
Very cramped quarters.
Charles Mather Foulke (1841-1909) was an investment banker and art collector.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
