Weighing 90,854 tons, the Washington Monument stands 555' 5-1/8" tall. The white marble walls of the Washington Monument range in thickness from 15' at the base to 18'' at the upper shaft. A flight of 897 steps rises to the observation area in the pyramidion of Washington Monument. An elevator takes visitors to the top of Washington Monument, where they can gaze over the Washingtin DC city from the Washington Monument's windows.
