This 1911 postcard showcases Washington's Headquarters in Richmond, Virginia, a pivotal location during the American Revolutionary War. In the winter of 1781, General George Washington used this building as his headquarters while overseeing the Siege of Yorktown, which ultimately led to the British surrender and the end of the war. The image on this postcard, printed shortly after the turn of the century, captures the historic structure that still stands today as a symbol of Washington’s leadership and the city’s role in the nation’s fight for independence. At the time the postcard was sent, Richmond had already become a popular destination for history enthusiasts eager to explore the legacy of the Revolution.
This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
