Washington DC Scene in Rock Creek 1908 Divided Back Postcard Used

This is a vintage postcard depicting the artificial dam and waterfall near Peirce Mill in Rock Creek Park, Washington, D.C.

The postcard image shows the dam, which was constructed in 1904 for aesthetic purposes to replace an old wooden dam.
The dam created a picturesque scene for visitors to the park.
Peirce Mill, located nearby, operated as a grist mill until 1897.
