Mount Vernon is home to one of the East Coast’s most well-preserved and historically significant nineteenth-century architecture. The area surrounding the Washington Monument is the centerpiece of the Mount Vernon Place Historic District. This monument, constructed between the years of 1815 and 1829, was the first formal monument in the United States to be built to honor George Washington. Mount Vernon Place features four different smaller parks radiating out from the Washington Monument. These four parks are considered to be some of the best urban landscapes still in existence by Carrere & Hastings, a beaux-arts architectural firm.
