The '''Washington Monument''' is an [[obelisk]] that stands 555 feet tall in [[Washington, D.C.]] dedicated to [[George Washington]]. Engraved on its metal cap is the [[Latin]] phrase "Laus Deo," meaning "Praise be to [[God]]." When It was completed it was the world's tallest structure until the [[Eiffel Tower]] was finished in 1889.

The chief architect, [[Robert Mills]], was the first Federal Architect of the United States.  Not surprisingly he was also a [[Freemason]], as was George Washington himself.  The obelisk design of the Monument and some of the ceremonies involved with its official dedication are traditional Freemason trademarks.
