Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NCCC_970513_02.JPG: Thomas Circle; Thomas Statue; Natl City Chris The National City Christian Church was constructed here in 1930. This was Lyndon Johnson's church during his tenure as President. The original church here had been attended by James Garfield. The statue is of George Thomas, the Civil War general known as the "Rock of Chickamauga" due to his defense of the Federal position from Snodgrass Hill during that attack in 1863. He was later involved in the attack on Missionary Ridge during the battle of Chattanooga, the battles for Atlanta, and he organized the defenses of Nashville when Hood's troops came through after the attacks on Spring Hill and Franklin in 1864.

Wikipedia Description: National City Christian Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

National City Christian Church, located on Thomas Circle in Washington, D.C., is the national cathedral for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), often abbreviated as the "Disciples of Christ" or "Christian Church". The denomination grew out of the Stone-Campbell Movement founded by Thomas Campbell and Alexander Campbell of Pennsylvania and West Virginia (then Virginia) and Barton W. Stone of Kentucky. The church currently hosts the Thomas Circle Singers, a chamber chorus that raises awareness and funds for charitable organizations located in Washington, D.C.

Architecture:

The neoclassical church building was designed by John Russell Pope and completed in 1930. It is a contributing property to the Greater Fourteenth Street Historic District.

Notable members:

Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th President of the United States, occasionally attended National City Christian Church during his time as president and his state funeral was held here in 1973. However, his family had been staunchly Baptist and his wife, Lady Bird, was a devoted Episcopalian.

James Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, was a member of National City Christian Church in one of its previous buildings.

1997 photos: Since 1984, I've lived in Silver Spring, Maryland. From 1981 to 2002, photos were taken using a Pentax ME Super camera. From 1989 to 2002, I was doing all pictures as prints (instead of slides which I had grown up on). In 1997, at the age of 40, my photo obsession began and I started taking thousands of photos per year. In September, 2002, I switched to digital cameras and the number of photos exploded. Image quality is going to be variable because these are scans of slides and/or prints. The images shown here were scanned in two phases. In the early years of the website, I rescanned a selection of pre-digital images, all at fairly low quality settings. During the COVID pandemic, I launched the Great Rescanning Effort, rescanning ALL of my pre-digital images from various media (prints, slides, negatives, etc) at higher resolution and quality settings. Mutilple versions of images -- some from the initial scannning phase, some from prints, some from slides/negatives -- were posted so there are frequently duplicate images on the same page. At some point, I hope to have time to do a final review and get rid of the duplicates but that'll have to wait until all of the pre-digital images are finally posted. Trips this year: North Carolina (Dad), Florida (Mom), using a time share in Arkansas to visit Civil War sites in Missouri, Georgia, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. The Civil War became my excuse to see places I'd never been to in my life and it was a great motivator for 20 years or so.
