              <text>From 1915 to 1935, there was a tennis court behind the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/52"&gt;Smithsonian Institution Castle&lt;/a&gt;, next to the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/465"&gt;Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory&lt;/a&gt; in the South Yard. The court was created for the Smithsonian's tennis team, which played in intramural as well as inter-departmental matches against teams from other federal agencies. This image shows Loyal B. Aldrich (Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory employee), and Astrophysicist Charles Greeley Abbot (Fifth Secretary of the Smithsonian) playing tennis.</text>
