Well, I still haven't heard an answer to my Park Trivia question on Friday, but it's Saturday evening and maybe it's time for a little monument trivia. I usually hang onto these photos for a while, but I thought I'd use one I took today after lunch. This is sort of difficult, because the picture isn't the best — it was overcast today. I think if I had a better picture this one would be pretty easy.
Who and where? And by the way, when — as in when was it put up.
I believe that's the Washington Monument in Baltimore. (Not to be confused with its more famous DC counterpart, though both were designed by Robert Mills.)
Herman Melville once wrote of it "[Washington] stands high aloft on his towering main-mast in Baltimore, and like one of Hercules' pillars, his column marks that point of human grandeur beyond which few mortals will go."
You got it, Owen. It's the Washington Monument in Baltimore.
