About National Register Listings
The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation’s historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America’s historic and archeological resources.
The District was the site of the first public monument to George Washington: The Washington Monument, which stands in the center of the National Mall, was built to honor the first U.S. president. It was completed in 1884, more than 50 years after construction began.
