At 555 feet 5 1/2 inches tall, the Washington Monument dominates the skyline of Washington, D.C.,where no new buildings are permitted to rise higher than the Capitol dome. Here the monument is pictured as viewed from the north, with the White House in the foreground. The dome of the Jefferson Memorial on the Potomac River shore is visible even farther to the south.
