The History of Snow
On the corner of 16th & Park Road used to stand the home of movie theater mogul Harry M. Crandall. Tragedy struck Crandall in
1922, when the roof of the Knickerbocker Theater at 18th and Columbia Road collapsed during a blizzard,
killing 98 and injuring scores. This storm became known as the Knickerbocker storm and still
stands as the biggest snow storm in the history of Washington DC.
The second largest storm in the history of Washington DC took place on February 5, 2010 ("Snowpocalypse")
which is the day that Dana Ellyn and Matt Sesow got married at Long View Gallery.
