Title
A name given to the resource
Hapgood's design for the Washington Monument
Description
An account of the resource
In 1877 Congress appropriated funds so that the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/281">building of the Washington Monument could continue</a>. Budget problems had halted construction in 1854. But after sitting untouched for more than 20 years many worried that a new design was needed for the monument. Congress quietly accepted new proposals. One such design was this Gothic tower by Boston architectural student H.P. Hapgood. Ultimately no new designs were accepted and instead the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/36">Washington Monument</a> was completed using only the central obelisk portion of <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/280">Mills' original design</a>.
