Latrobe's design for the Washington Monument
-
Description
-
In 1799 Architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe submitted this proposal for the Washington Monument. The design was meant to be incorporated into the original design of Washington, DC, but budget problems prevented its construction. The plan included the pyramid monument you see here, a terrace, and murals with allegorical figures covering the ceiling inside the monument.
