Description
The iconic Washington Monument on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on a clear summer day. Standing slightly taller than 555 feet, it is both the tallest stone structure and obelisk in the world. When it was completed in 1888 it overtook the fabled Cologne Cathedral as the world's tallest structure until the Eiffel Tower of Paris eclipsed it a year later.
After George Washington's death in 1799 the young nation desired to construct a grand memorial to its first president and heroic leader of the Revolutionary War. But what the memorial would be took many years to debate and decide. Construction finally began in 1848 but ceased in 1854 due to lack of funds. Construction eventually restarted in 1878 and the stone work was completed in 1884. The structure was finished and dedicated in 1885.
