The obelisk monument in Washington had a decorative base never built due to money and Civil War delays. Construction resumed in 1878 using different stone, creating a visible ring. Opened 1888, the eight windowed top offers views with an elevator for about 25 people and 897 steps.
The Washington Monument, the world’s largest freestanding stone structure, will receive cleaning and repairs. Scaffolding with blue-net cladding will outline the process, revealing an updated observation room and bookstore designed by architect Michael Graves, funded by a department store chain and other businesses.
