View East from the Washington Monument of the National Mall and U.S. Capitol, Washington, DC, 1969.Scanned from a dirty slide. The large parking area on the right edge was to be used for the Hirshorn Gallery and the Air and Space Museum. A vacant space near the center of the photo was used to construct the East Building of the National Gallery of Art. The Mall itself has been redesigned to incorporate more walking paths and to discourage through traffic on the roads. -- source link
