Foley Hall was built in 1860 at a cost of $200,000 and was the oldest building on St. Mary of the Woods College campus. It was originally a three-story, three wing, brick structure but a further extension making it a 4 1/2 structure was added in 1897. Originally known as The Academy, it was demolished in 1989.

American Red Cross
Terre Haute Canteen
The stamp is not a reference to the USO (United Service Organization) canteen that was set up in the United Station railway terminal during WWII. The Red Cross and USO canteens were operated separately. For more information on the USO canteens see the Identified WW II USO Canteens (Internet Archive) page.
