Labeled as the tallest stone structure in the world at 555 feet, this stereo card shows the Washington Monument as a pale marble obelisk rising above the capital. Construction began in 1848 to a design by Robert Mills, then stalled for years over money and politics before the obelisk was finished in 1884. Underwood & Underwood, a New York firm known for stereoscope views sold to home viewers, issued this card around 1903, when the monument had become a fixed part of the Washington skyline and a popular stop for visitors.
