Description
Washington Monument - Completed in 1884 after 36 years of interrupted construction, the 555-foot obelisk honoring America's founding father is a magnet for visitors touring the National Mall. A 70-second elevator ride lifts visitors to the summit; an optional 897-step descent includes nearly 200 memorial plaques lining the stairwell walls.
