Before television or travel magazines, families gathered around a stereoscope to tour the world in three dimensions. This card, published by T. W. Ingersoll of St. Louis, whose cards were sold door to door, shows the U.S. Pension Bureau Building in Washington, D.C., the great brick hall that is now home to the National Building Museum. It would be a nice addition to a stereoview collection or a Washington, D.C. history display.
