Washington Monument, Capitol Square, Richmond. This Monument stands in the Grand Avenue which leads to the Executive Mansion. The total height of the structure is 60 feet. The figures are all of bronze, and were cast in Amsterdam. Some estimates of the colossal proportions may be made from the fact that the equestrian figure alone weights 21 tons, and is 19 feet in height. Those of Henry, Mason and Jefferson are each 12 feet in height. The structure was brought to its present state of completion in 1857. [Selden & Co. album card]
