The history of the creation of a monument of Washington
The design of the monument lasted for almost a hundred years, including a 25-year-old break due to civil war and slow restoration of the country. The first call for construction took place in 1738, when the Continental Congress made a decision that in honor of the victory of the Americans under the leadership of George Washington in the war for independence, an equestrian statue should be installed in his honor. Due to the limited resources in those days, the monument was built and was not. The exercise of the long-standing dream of Americans about the creation of a monument, which has not yet seen the world, has found its continuation in 1838, when the collection of donations was launched on his construction and declared a competition for the best idea. Robert Mills defeated, who offered a stunning project, which turned out to be inappropriate for money, but nevertheless was taken as the basis.
The first stone of the future masterpiece was laid on July 4, 1848, while the blade was used, which was used when booking the Capitol for half a century to the events described personally, Washington. Construction was completed in 1884, and officially the monument was opened in October 1888. At the same time, it was installed with a steam elevator, giving way to electric in 1901.
