WASHINGTON, DC - 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.
