Best Answer

When building of the Monument stopped in 1854, they didn't resume until around the early 1870's. When they resumed, they couldn't use the same quarry of rock, because it had long gone to build bunkers for the war effort. when they resumed with enough fundings to continue building, they had to use a slighty differently colored rock to finish the building process. the monument opened to the public in 1878
