I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Description of Subject Matter: The Hotel Washington was built in 1918 in the Italian Renaissance style. The previous building here was a five-story brick Corcoran Building, where a number of federal offices were located. These included Washington Military Department's Pay Department, which was located on the top floor. Disabled military veterans were required to climb up five flights of stairs to collect their pay. A young clerk named Walt Whitman witnessed their daily struggles. The new building has a rooftop restaurant with splendid views of the Mall.
