The construction of the Washington Monument cost approximately $1.8 million at the time it was built, which translates to around $28 million in today's dollars when adjusted for inflation. Construction began in 1848 but was halted in 1854 due to a lack of funds and the Civil War. It resumed in 1876 and was completed in 1884. The funding came from various sources, including federal appropriations, private donations, and sales of commemorative stones.
