I wonder if there are any other purely masonry constructions that are anywhere near the height of the Washington Monument. It’s not a surprise that it is susceptible to earthquake damage.


Many cathedrals of Europe are nearly as tall. So is Philadelphia’s city hall.

I've actually been to the top of Ulm Cathedral, so perhaps I should have thought of that. Apparently I didn't know too much about Philadelphia City Hall other than it has a statue of William Penn on top.
