Shot on 8mm film in 1955, this vintage home movie captures a view of the Jefferson Memorial across a calm body of water, likely the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., though the location is listed as Dade County, Florida. The footage shows the neoclassical monument in the distance, framed by trees and water, with slight camera movement and natural film grain. The image is slightly out of focus with visible dust and scratches, characteristic of aged Super 8 footage. The final frame reveals tree branches and a distant airplane in the sky, adding a sense of place and time. This archival clip offers a nostalgic glimpse of mid-century Americana, suitable for historical documentaries, editorial content, or retro-themed projects.
