Pension Office (Washington, DC)
Unused Washington News Company card, whose caption says “at 200 by 400 feet, is the largest brick building in the world”. It’s funny.

Because this unused Curteichcolor card 6C-K858 (631) fits into so many categories, we’ll repeat the caption here: “Wall Street, center of financial district, showing U.S. Treasury Building at right, with Trinity Church in background”. Some aging. Grade: 1

We were not expecting this when we Googled for more information. Wikipedia says: “The War Office was a department of the British Government responsible for the administration of the British Army between the 17th century and 1964, when its functions were transferred to the Ministry of Defence.The name “War Office” is also given to the former home of the department, the War Office building located at the junction of Horse Guards Avenue and Whitehall in central London. In August 2013 it was announced that the War Office building would be sold on the open market. The building was sold on 1 March 2016 for more than £350M, on a long 250 year lease, to the Hinduja Group and OHL Developments for conversion to a luxury hotel and residential apartments.” Unused B&W Valentine’s Series card 57167, a bit of smudging on the reverse (it’s an old card!) but otherwise clean.
