Transcription: The Washington Monument, a simple, gleaming tribute to our first president, is the tallest structure in the District of Columbia. The slight color change partway up the shaft marks the height reached before a political squabble interrupted construction in 1854. Twenty-six years later, work was resumed and a capstone was put in place in 1884. The monument is 555 and one-half feet tall. An elevator carries passengers up in a little over a minute. From the top, the entire capital city can be seen spread out below.
