Independence Monument under repair ($15 millions)
Washington DC.
The Washington Monument is an obelisk on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., built to commemorate George Washington, once commander-in-chief of the early Continental Army and the first American president.
The monument, made of marble, granite, and bluestone gneiss,is both the world's tallest stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing 555 feet 5 1⁄8 inches (169.294 m) tall. Taller monumental columns exist, but they are neither all stone nor true obelisks

Decades of mismanagement have lead to disrepair, proving once again that the biggest challenge we will face in any version of our future remains ourselves.
