Washington Monument Narrative Through 1888 Completion
The Washington Monument’s long saga began after the death of George Washington’s era with a 1700 resolution to build a marble tomb in Washington. It faced repeated delays, funding troubles, and design changes before the shaft reached 565 feet with a capstone placed on December 6, 1884, and opened to the public October 9, 1888. Stones from states, cities, and nations line its inner walls, with about 98,000 stones used in construction and eight viewing windows at the 504 foot level offering city views.
