Designed by Harvey Wiley Corbett, its 333-foot (101 m) tower is modeled on the ancient Lighthouse of Ostia. Construction began in 1922, the building was dedicated in 1932, and its interior was completed in 1970. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2015, partly for its architecture and as one of the largest private memorials to George Washington.
