Title A name given to the resource Statue of George Washington moving across the Mall Description An account of the resource <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/117">Horatio Greenough</a>'s 1841 <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/17">sculpture of George Washington</a> has lived in 4 different locations on the Mall. Originally built for the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/59">US Capitol Rotunda</a>, Congress did not like the statue and moved it outside to the east lawn 1 year later. Still unhappy with the statue, Congress transferred it to the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/52">Smithsonian for display at the "Castle"</a> in 1908. It remained there until 1962, when Smithsonian staff moved the statue by crane across the Mall to the new <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/48">National Museum of History and Technology</a>. Staff had to remove a glass window and several bricks in the Castle to move the statue out of the building, because it was too large to fit through the doors.
