Where To See It

If you think it looks awkward now with the "braces," be glad you're around in the 21st century. The Washington Monument was awkward from day one. Construction of the monument began in 1848, but was halted for over 20 years due to lack of funds and the civil war. It was finally completed in 1884. [Instagram via @mollyurciolo]
