How much did the London cenotaph cost to build in 1920?
The original London Cenotaph was made of wood and plaster. It was errected for the day of celebration June 28 1919 and was meant to be temporary. The public turned the Cenotaph into much more than a focal point of celebration, it became a place of remembrance. Remember, the war had been over for less than a year and the great pain was still very strong. Some spent days in line so they could lay a wreath at the foot of the cenotaph. Captain Ormsby-Gore MP proposed, in the House of Commons, a more permanent structure be built. Sir Edwin Lutyens, the designer of the original structure was asked to make it permanent.The entire monument was built by Holland, Hannen and Cubitts Ltd for the cost of £7,325 (approx $11,500 US). Lutyens waived his fee for the design. The history of the Cenotaph and how it was built can be read by clicking on the link below.
