My first reaction was, what a strange place to pose for a photograph, unless they owned the shop. If so, they had the wrong dog .

Oh, maybe a photographer's studio / framing shop next door. That's why they are dressed up maybe.
My first reaction was how clean the pavement is.

I vote for Staged photo for the shop to the right that sells "fine frames"

The well turned out couple may be standing in front of the Harris & Ewing photo studio which was located at 1313 F Street in downtown Washington. Just now I'm unable to locate a DC city directory which might help us determine if there was an adjacent Victor dealership and, if there was, its full name.

Re: Cool photo
James,
Well done! Who says you need a city directory to find things.
That is an interesting list of Washington, DC, Victor dealers. I was pleased to see the Droop name. I have my grandparent's Orthophonic 4-7 that came from Droop's. It was delivered sometime in 1927 and the first record played on it was "When the red, red, robin..." While the machine sits in our rec room, the record, unfortunately, is long gone.
