1922 Cabin John Bridge Washington D.C.

Step back to 1922 with this charming postcard featuring the majestic Cabin John Bridge in Washington, D.C. This graceful stone arch bridge, officially known as the Union Arch Bridge, was completed in 1864 and once held the record as the longest single-span masonry arch bridge in the world. Designed as part of the Washington Aqueduct system, it carried water from the Potomac River to the capital, blending utility with elegance in a way few structures ever have.

Surrounded by the serene beauty of nature, the bridge stands as a quiet sentinel of the past—witness to over a century of change in the nation's capital. The soft, hand-tinted hues on this early 20th-century postcard add a nostalgic charm, capturing the bridge in its peaceful, unhurried moment before the bustle of modern traffic.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
