Completed in 1936 at a cost of $560,000, this structure was built of granite and steel upon a massive 10-foot thick concrete mat. The image captures the imposing, secure facade of the building, which was designed to house the nation's gold reserves in the form of standard mint bars. This landmark remains a global symbol of security and financial stability, perfectly preserved here through the saturated colors and textured finish characteristic of mid-century lithography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Linen (circa 1940)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Fort Knox\u003cbr\u003eState or Region: Kentucky\u003cbr\u003eCountry: United States\u003cbr\u003eTopic: Government Buildings and National Security\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Uncirculated\u003cbr\u003ePostage: None\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: Divided Back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Photographer: Caufield \u0026amp; Shook\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: E.
