Description
The Obelisk - Washington Monument - Washington DC, Fine Art Photograph
******************************
The tallest structure in the world, even today, made completely of stone, stands in the National Mall in Washington DC. This obelisk is a structure that has been dedicated to one of the finest commander-in-chiefs and the first president of the United States, George Washington. Standing at 555' tall, it is easily the tallest building in all of Washington DC. After suffering some damage in the 2011 Virginia earthquake, the repairs were completed in May 2014 and the historic landmark is now open to the public. Construction started in 1848, but was help up from 1854 to 1877. The structure was finally completed in 1884, although the internal work was not completed until 1888. The Monument sits directly east of the Lincoln Memorial and is sandwiched between the US Capitol building and the Lincoln Memorial. If you are in the DC metro area this is one structure worth paying a visit.
