Today in 1884, the Washington Monument was completed after 36 years of construction interrupted by the American Civil War and sidelined occasionally thanks to economic turmoil. Made of marble, granite, and bluestone gneiss, it is the world’s tallest stone structure and the world’s tallest obelisk at just over 554 feet and seven inches.
