Peacock Alley at the Willard Hotel — Carol M. Highsmith

Carol M. Highsmith’s photograph looks directly along Peacock Alley in the historic Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. A richly patterned carpet leads through the center of the corridor, while repeating lights, architectural details, potted palms, and carefully placed furniture create a strong sense of symmetry and depth.

Photographed shortly after the hotel’s 1980s restoration, the interior is recorded in warm cream, beige, muted red, brown, and green tones. Highsmith’s controlled perspective makes the photograph both an architectural study and a record of a restored historic American interior.
