There are 898 steps inside the Washington Monument Would that there were, for my accomplishment in climbing each and every one in 1965 would be that much greater. Unfortunately, there are only 897 steps inside the Washington Monument.
The Washington Monument is an obelisk, a large rectangular tower with a point on top. The obelisk structure originated in Egypt, but is now used all over the world for different purposes (many being to honor someone/something, such as the Washington Monument.)
The obelisk is the architectural style of the Washington Monument. An obelisk is a tall, four-sided pillar with a pyramid-shaped top.
