About it

The Washington Monument is a tall stone obelisk in Washington, D.C., built to honor George Washington, the first president of the United States. It is about 169 meters (555 feet) tall. Building began in 1848, stopped for more than 20 years, and was finished in 1884; the stone above the point where work paused is a slightly different color.

Tap it for a whole day in a few seconds, like a giant sundial: the sun rises behind the monument, arcs over and sets, the obelisk's shadow swings around the lawn in front, and the flags ripple in the breeze.
