None. The monument is built with mostly Bluestone inside the monument and Marble as the outside facing.

No stone monument is taller than the Washington Monument. It also is the tallest obelisk in the world.

The Washington Monument has an area of 106.01 acres. Its acreage equals 42.90 hectares.

The Washington monument is located on a flat, open air grassy area. The nearest trees are almost 500 yards away. There is a lone Cherry Tree that stands near the monument about 200 yards away (see related link for a picture of it).

Mortar.

A national monument is basically the same as a national park... differing mainly in the manner in which it was created. A national monument is created by the President of the United States and a national park is created by legislative action by the U.S. Congress.

Yes, the Washington Monument often has been struck by lightning. An early strike occurred on Monday, June 8, 1885.

The Washington Monument was designed by Robert Mills (August 12, 1781 - March 3, 1855). In 1836, Robert Mills won the design competition held by the Washington National Monument Society.

The Washington Monument was closed because of damage caused by the Virginia earthquake of Tuesday, August 23, 2011. The Monument was reopened by the National Park Service on Monday, May 12, 2014.

No, it is made of marble, granite and sandstone.

It holds the records for being both the world's tallest stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk in height standing 555 feet 5⅛ inches (169.294 m)

According to a D.C. tourist pamphlet, it's 165 feet wide and 2,029 feet long.

According to visitingdc.com it's 167 feet wide and 2,029 feet long.

According to Wikipedia on 11/2/2010, it's "approximately" 167 feet wide and 2,027 feet long.

The pool was designed by Henry Bacon (born and lived in America), the Lincoln Memorial plans (along with the pools dimensions) were accepted in 1913 and the pool itself was built during 1922 and 1923. Obviously the foot measurement was in mind when deciding it's dimensions.

The design of the Lincoln Memorial was hotly debated at the time, and progress was slowed for various reasons including dimensions. Henry Bacon's biography is currently not available online for further research.

Apparently nobody has really nailed this down, even in published figures specifically about the pool. How weird is that considering it's such an epic piece of architecture?

Measuring via satellite photos myself using Google Earth 5.2.1 and Aug 29th 2010 imagery (which has a pixel size of 9 pixels per meter, or 1 pixel per 6 inches); It's 160 feet on the west end, 175 feet on the east end wide x 2,022 feet long. Measuring using imagery from 1999 it measured 2,023 ft wide and in 2005, 2,021 ft wide. Also be aware that construction on the pool was done in between this time and may have actually changed the total length slightly (2023 / 2021 = only a 0.0001% change in length and is within the +/- 1ft pixel data "fuzz" margin of error).

However, 2,029 is 6 feet more than the maximum measurement and is too far off to be possible using satellite photos. I am sure somewhere are the original plans as well as a real site survey accurate to the millimeter, but those aren't available online.

The often publicized 2,029 feet is very unlikely, perhaps this was the original design, but it was shortened slightly during the debates before construction. I'd go with 2,022 feet long today.

To be precise, Big Ben is actually the 14 ton bell inside the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster. However, most people refer to the clock itself as Big Ben. It was never intended to be a monument but has become one of the most famous buildings in the world.
