WASHINGTON, DC - The Lincoln Memorial sits on the western end of Washington DC's National Mall. It faces directly east towards the Washington Monument and US Capitol Building. Styled in the form of a neoclassical temple, its main chamber is dominated by a large statue of a seated President Abraham Lincoln. It was designed by Daniel Chester French and completed in 1920. The Lincoln Memorial was dedicated in May 1922.
WASHINGTON, DC - A plaque commemorating the spot on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech in August 1963. Towering 554 feet above the National Mall in Washington DC, the Washington Monument commemorates George Washington, the first president of the United States. After a decades-long construction project, it was completed in 1884. It was shaped as an Egyptian-style obelisk, and its thick marble walls encase an elevator and long spiral staircase that provides access to small chambers at the top. Fifty American flags ring its base.
