Passport Office To Leave Its Cobwebbed Home
Washington's Passport Office moves to new quarters around Labor Day after years in the old Civil War era Winder building across from Old State. The staff, about 300, faced crowded files, cockroaches, and slow processing, but director Frances Knight pushed for modernization. A plan to streamline includes new machinery to paste photos and seal passports, aiming for quicker service in the future. Street lighting resumed after a temporary outage in south Frederick.
