Take a trip back in time by viewing these amazing photos from 1920 of the Old Post Office Building in Washington, DC. Learn about the history of the building and why it's still standing today, despite President Trump's plans for it.

I love this building and I’m so glad we still have it. I’m a little skeptical about what Trump is going to do with it, but … we’ll see. Just don’t turn it into a casino! 😉

Here are two great shots from 1920, thanks to the Library of Congress.
