The Washington Monument is an iconic structure located in the National Mall in Washington DC, United States. Built to honor George Washington, the nation's first president, the monument is a significant symbol of American history and heritage. Standing at a height of 555 feet (169 meters), the Washington Monument is the world's tallest stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk. It was designed by Robert Mills, a prominent American architect of the 19th century, known for his neoclassical design style. Construction of the monument began in 1848 but was halted in 1854 due to lack of funds and political disputes. The project was resumed in 1879 under the supervision of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the monument was finally completed in 1884. It was officially opened to the public in 1888. The monument's distinct two-tone coloration is a result of the lengthy construction period, as the stone used to complete the upper two-thirds of the structure was sourced from a different quarry. This unintentional feature has become one of its recognizable characteristics. The monument's design includes a pointed marble pyramidion at the top and an observation deck that offers panoramic views of the city. The interior of the monument is hollow and contains an elevator that transports visitors to and from the observation deck. The Washington Monument is managed by the National Park Service and is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. It has become a defining feature of the Washington DC skyline and serves as a powerful symbol of the nation's respect for its founding principles and for George Washington's significant contributions.
