Cover Commemorates the Building and Restoration of the White House
Construction began on the official residence of the President in 1792 and was completed eight years later. This cover honors the start of construction of the White House.
On August 24, 1814, the British set fire to the White House, as well as other government buildings. The executive mansion was restored after the war, and President James Monroe moved in in 1817. The cachet commemorates its restoration.
The stamp on this cover is part of the Presidential Mini-Sheets issued in honor of the AMERIPEX '86 stamp exhibition.
Not since 1938 had a series of U.S. stamps been devoted entirely to past U.S. Presidents. And with this series, another postal “first” occurred when four “mini sheets” were issued by the U.S. Postal Service. Each sheet incorporated nine 22-cent commemorative stamps. Each of 35 stamps honors a deceased U.S. President, and the 36th stamp depicts the White House.
These were the very first “mini-sheets” ever issued by the United States. And in addition to a President’s portrait, each stamp bears a facsimile of the President’s signature, plus the years he served in office
