Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SEW_150930_84.JPG: The Business of Suffrage: The "Votes for Women" slogan emblazoned on china, and the "suffrage tea" served at luncheons and meetings, rallied supporters of women's suffrage. The National Woman's Party and the National American Woman Suffrage Association "sold suffrage" by branding the movement with colors, images, and experiences that proclaimed dedication to female enfranchisement. Products were designed to express beliefs, promote the movement, entertain viewers, fundraise, and most importantly, visually confront opponents. Often, newspapers like "The Suffragist" or "The Women's Journal" promoted the cause and marketed suffrage merchandise through advertising. Campaign souvenirs such as soap, jewelry, paperweights, buttons, clothing, playing cards, fans, flowers, and even valentines engaged new audiences and tied in to the modern consumer culture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

Wikipedia Description: Sewall-Belmont House and Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sewall-Belmont House and Museum, located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C., United States, is a historic house and museum of the U.S. women's suffrage and equal-rights movements.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974.

It was built on a tract of land originally granted to Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore by King Charles I of England. The property was divided several times, and it was Daniel Carroll who ultimately ceded much of the land to the United States as a site for the new capital. After Washington was laid out, Carroll bought a small parcel of land and in 1799 sold the property to Robert Sewall. According to his tax records, Sewall built the main house in 1800. He attached it to a small one-room farmhouse believed by some experts to date from 1750. Tradition has it that British troops set fire to the house during the War of 1812. It is believed that gunshots from or behind the Sewall residence provoked the attack.

The house has undergone several architectural changes and restorations. The house remained in the possession of Sewall descendants until 1922, when it was purchased by Senator Porter H. Dale of Vermont. In 1929, Dale sold it to the National Woman's Party, and it has been the party's headquarters ever since.

Today, the house is also a museum that houses many banners, documents, pieces of furniture, and other artifacts of the women's suffrage and equal rights movement, as well as sculptures and portraits of women involved in the movements.

The Sewall-Belmont House is located at 144 Constitution Ave., NE. It is open Wedneday through Sunday from noon to 4:00 pm. Guided tours begin at noon, 1:00 pm, 2:00 pm, and 3:00 pm. The nearest Metro stop is Union Station.

2015 photos: I retired from the US Census Bureau in god-forsaken Suitland, Maryland on my 58th birthday in May. Yee ha! Trips this year: a quick trip to Florida. two Civil War Trust conferences (Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA), and my 10th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). Ego Strokes: Carolyn Cerbin used a Kevin Costner photo in her USA Today article. Miss DC pictures were used a few times in the Washington Post. Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: just over 550,000.
