White House Fountain - Washington, DC - Postcard, c. 1930s
(5 1/2 x 3 1/2 In) This is an original vintage B. S. Reynolds Co. postcard from the 1930s. It shows a view of the White House in Washington, D. C.
"The White House had been the home of the Presidents from the time of John Adams to the present. Washington selected this site, laid the cornerstone in 1792, and with his wife inspected the finished building in 1799. The building is of Virginia freestone. After the house had been fired by British troops in 1814, and only the walls were left standing, the restored exterior was painted white to obliterate the marks of the fire."
The postcard is unused and is in VERY GOOD condition, light wear at the edges, blunted corner tips.
