About This Stamp
The Postal Service recognized the 200th anniversary of the White House with a 29-cent regular-issue coil stamp issued in Washington, D.C., on April 23, 1992. Jack Ruther's design features a traditional northeast view of The White House, with the American Flag waving above.
The White House, officially known as the "President's House" until 1901, is more than just a fine example of 18th-century stone draftsmanship. It is the president's home and office, a historic site viewed many visitors annually, and a familiar symbol of American democracy.
Designed by V. Jack Ruther, the stamps were printed through the intaglio (two-color) press.
