This 10¢
airmail stamp was issued on Nov. 18, 1949 to mark the 75th anniversary of the
Universal Postal Union. The vignette features what is now known as the Ariel
Rios Federal Building, a semicircular building constructed between 1931-35 in the
'Federal Triangle' formed by 15th St., Constitution Ave., and Pennsylvania Ave.
(This area had formerly been D.C.'s Chinatown, and the residents were relocated
to the present enclave along H and Eye Streets.) The Rios building was the Post Office Department's
headquarters until 1971.
