This collection consists of 461 photographs and 913 negatives depicting residential and commercial properties located throughout Washington, DC from ca. 1987-1989. Many of the photographs are mounted on cardstock pages that list information about the property, such as its name, neighborhood, number of units (if applicable), owner, and cost.

The majority of the images show the exterior of a property, though there are some shots of interiors, details, and/or surrounding areas, buildings, and streets, as well. Many of the photos of each property are similar to each other, though some properties’ photos have more variety. Some addresses only have one associated image, while others have more than one. Several of the photographs do not have matching negatives, and vice versa. A number of negatives are blurry, overexposed, fill half a panel, or have subjects that are otherwise blocked in some way.

A name that appears to be connected with the collection is Greg Lipscomb. Consequently, one may assume that Greg Lipscomb was the photographer, agent or broker, and/or donor of this collection. However, without documentation, this cannot be confirmed.

Unidentified properties are grouped together at the end of the collection.
