I truly lost my mind when I saw this tag in these gorgeous vintage (antique?) men’s pajamas. The address, 1210 F Street NW Washington, DC was (I immediately recognized) about half a block from my dad’s office building for all the years I grew up.
P.T. Hall turns out to only have inhabited the building from 1906 to 1915, so that neatly dates these pajamas to an amazingly specific window. The photo on the right shows what the building looked like in the 1920s— P.T. Hall was in the building on the far right, by that time the store Erlebacher’s. Today (and in my conscious lifetime) the block is directly over the metro stop Metro Center and is a big pink marble building in a much more modern style than those shown above.
