Harris & Ewing was a photographic news service begun in 1905 by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing in Washington, D.C. at the suggestion of President Theodore Roosevelt. Ewing sold her share to Harris about 1915 and left the business. Harris continued as sole owner until he sold the business in 1945, but continued as photographer until 1955. The archives of the business consisting of about 70,000 negatives were donated to the Library of Congress in 1955 and are now in the public domain.[1] The firm's photographic studio building on F Street was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[2]
