Washington Monument |

| Work on the Washington Monument, a marble obelisk 169 m (555 ft) tall, was completed in 1884. By the time it was formally dedicated in 1885, it had taken nearly a century to create this monument to George Washington, the man who had led the United States through the American Revolution (1775-1783) and served as its first president. | ||||||
