Washington Monument
Intersection of Monument Pl and Mt Vernon PlAbout
Washington Monument, Intersection of Monument Pl and Mt Vernon Pl (four blocks east of Centre St light rail stop). At the turn of the 19th century Baltimorians lobbied for a monument dedicated to the United States' first president, and in 1829 Washington's first monument finished construction. It was designed by architect Robert Mills who later went on to design that other Washington Monument in D.C. It is now a focal point in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood.
