At the end of the center of the eastern section of the Mall in Washington D.C. stands the Washington Monument. The monument rises just over 555' tall and was finished in 1884. The shape of the Washington Monument is that of an Egyptian obelisk which stands as an anchor for the Capital of the Nation.
