How about something a little different today? Flickr user rockcreek has been posting these images from around Washington, D.C., taken mostly between 1900-1910, including this one of some boys drinking from an old water pump in 1903. The whole set is fascinating, like a “new” house on V Street NW for sale for $4000, an 1884 map of Dupont Circle, or even a chain gang working in Potter’s Field.

And speaking of getting together to drink, don’t forget that our DCist Photographer’s Meet-Up is this Sunday. Come join us at 4 p.m. at Warehouse to trade tips and put Flickr names to faces. See you there!
