What is the Washington Monument? The Washington Monument is an iconic obelisk of white marble, granite, and bluestone, built in honor of George Washington, the first president of the United States. It stands at the center of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. At 553 feet (169 meters), it was the tallest structure in the world upon its completion in 1884. It remains the tallest freestanding stone structure and obelisk in the world.

The National Mall is a wonderful place in Washington. Naturally, it is very popular.

This life-size bronze sculpture depicts James A. Garfield at the top; he served only fourth months of his term as 20th president of the United States before being assassinated. The other three figures on the pedestral are meant to be allegorical representations of the phases of Garfield's career.

Union Square is an 11-acre plaza open to the public. In the 1930s the National Park Service took jurisdiction over the green space. Later on, and to this day the Jurisdiction was changed to the "the Architect of the Capitol".
