| George Washington Masonic Memorial. Alexandria, Virginia: Travis Simpkins |
I recently visited the George Washington Masonic Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia. Completed in 1932, the building is modeled after the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, Egypt (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World). Funded by contributions from Freemasons, the structure stands as a memorial to George Washington, the first President of the United States and a Mason. Memorial Hall features a colossal 17-foot-tall statue of Washington in his regalia. In July of 2015, it was designated a National Historic Landmark.
