The Washington Monument is a monument in the honor of George Washington, high in the town of Washington.
It is Robert Mills which made the original plans in 1838 of them. Construction was delayed by the lack of funds and the civil war. This stop in work appears by a difference in color clearly visible in the low part of the building (around 45 m) which delimits initial construction with the resumption of work in 1876. It takes the form of a Obélisque, built in masonry (contrary to the Egyptian obelisks , which was of only one holding). It is made of Marbre, sandstone and Granit.
It became during its completion the monument highest of the world with 169m, until the construction of the Eiffel Tower in 1889.
Washington Monument is located at the Western end of the National Evil and rises with a little less than 170 meters. It was completed in 1884 and was opened with the public in 1888. Other monuments such called Washington Monument in the honor of George Washington are present at Baltimore and Annapolis, in the Maryland.
