Although much of the historical presidential attention today is about this man, this photo from the eve of Woodrow Wilson's first inauguration from 1913 was too beautiful to keep under wraps. As the photographer looks east from the Treasury, the light cast by the illumination allows the viewer to see some streetcar tracks on the left corner. As an aside, how nice would it have been (in terms of weather, at least) if the inaugurations still waited until March?
