Chapter 20

The Washington Monument

The 555-foot tall Washington monument — an Egyptian obelisk. (I took this photo in 2000.)

The Temple of Vesta, Rome

The remains of the Temple of Vesta in Rome, inspiration for the US Capitol.

The Capitol Crypt

The US Capitol Crypt, which lies just below the Rotunda. Despite the name, no one has ever been entombed here; it was planned as the burial place for George and Martha Washington, who were buried at Mount Vernon instead.
