The top card was sent from Washington to a friend in Indiana in 1939. The sender had just returned to their hotel from a walk to the White House!
The South Front postcard reads:
"This historic building stands today practically as its designer, James Hoban, planned it, on the same site designed by Major L'Enfant in his
original Federal City plans. Exclusive of its terraced galleries on either side, it is 70 feet long, 85 feet wide and 58 feet high."I took the photo at the bottom just a few weeks ago!
