1930s Pan American Union Washington D.C.

This 1930s postcard showcases the striking Pan American Union building in Washington, D.C., an architectural gem that served as the headquarters for the Pan American Union, an organization dedicated to promoting cooperation among the countries of the Americas. Completed in 1910, the building stands as a symbol of unity and peace, designed in the Beaux-Arts style with a grand marble entrance and beautiful colonnades. It’s a reflection of the early 20th-century optimism for international diplomacy, especially in a time when the Americas were looking to strengthen ties across the hemisphere.

Today, the building is home to the Organization of American States (OAS), continuing its mission of fostering diplomatic relations and collaboration. This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
