A Ton Of Work To Be Done
It was not easy to restore the Washington Monument to its former glory. They had to tighten the joints to ensure that it was not going to topple over. On top of that, they had to retouch the masonry. Do not worry, they did not forget about the topmost piece either. The statue got its fair share of TLC as well.
It Saw A Couple Of Upgrades
This was not all. The heating and lighting systems of the site, together with its security technology, got an upgrade. It had a big impact on the overall appearance of the site. The 19th-century structure has since been adorned with alarms and CCTV cameras. Doesn’t that sound like a pretty strange image?
