The Pension Building, on a 1909 postcard from Columbia native Sara Rey Marcum (Sallie or Daut to most who knew her), then teaching in Harrisonburg, Virginia, to Ruth Paull.

This structure, located in Washington, D.C., occupies a full city block and served for nearly 40 years as the bureaucratic center for all things related to military pensions. It's now a memorial to Civil War veterans.
