The Washington Monument in Baltimore was the first architechtural monument honoring George Washington. Designed by Robert Mills, who also designed the Washington Monument in Washington D.C., construction began in 1815 and was completed by 1829. The 178 foot doric column holds a ground-floor museum offering information about Washington as well as construction of the monument.
