Description
The Patriotic Pair
The American Flag waves in the wind at the base of the majestic Washington Monument. The Washington Monument honors and memorializes George Washington at the center of the nation's capital. The structure was completed in two phases of construction, one private (1848-1854) and one public (1876-1884). Built in the shape of an Egyptian obelisk, evoking the timelessness of ancient civilizations, the Washington Monument embodies the awe, respect, and gratitude the nation felt for its most essential Founding Father. At the time of it's completion, the Washington Monument was the tallest building in the world at 555 feet, 5-1/8 inches.
Thanks to the National Park Service for this Information.
