              <text>This original, lavish design of the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/36"&gt;Washington Monument &lt;/a&gt;was created by &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/114"&gt;Robert Mills&lt;/a&gt;, who won a national design competition in 1836 sponsored by the&lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/148"&gt; Washington National Monument Society&lt;/a&gt;. The Society relied on public funds for construction. Shortly after construction began in 1854 they were forced to stop when money ran out. &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/281"&gt;In 1876 Congress took over the construction of the monument&lt;/a&gt;, choosing to construct a &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/455"&gt;simple obelisk&lt;/a&gt; instead of Mills' original design.</text>
