Prohibition Raid (1923)


If I've learned anything from Wesley Snipes, it's the address to the White House and that one should always pay their taxes. This photo from the Library of Congress collection shows Prohibition officers conducting a raid at 922 Pennsylvania Avenue which, if I'm not mistaken, is remarkably close to the White House.

I suspect the owner of this establishment didn't know President Harding likes his tuna melt on wheat and not white.
