The Washington Monument

The Washington Monument

A magnificent modern obelisk in Washington, D.C., which stands over 555 feet high and features an observatory at the 500-foot level which is reached by interior elevator and stairs. Completed in 1884, it is one of the world’s great monuments.

In January 1943, Emil Loring attempts to destroy the Washington Monument and other world-famous landmarks, but his mad scheme is thwarted by Superman (Act No. 56: “Design for Doom!”).
