The Washington Monument was a monument built on the National Mall in Washington D.C. to honor and remember George Washington for all of the service that he has done for the United States. The construction began in 1848, was stopped from 1854-1877, and was finally completed in 1884. The shape that was finally decided on for the monument was an obelisk.

This museum was the first edition to the National Mall in Washington D.C. and was constructed from 1903-1910. The building was debated about for a long time and many different models were drawn up for it. In the end many architects were able to compromise to create what is now the National Museum of Natural History.
