The Washington Monument in Baltimore is located at the intersection of North Charles Street and Monument Street, in the median on North Charles Street.
During the decade of the 1830's the handsome Mills circular cast iron fence, with paired gate posts resembling Roman fasces, was completed and the bronze lettering was applied to the four elevations of the pedestal. This lettering forms the following inscription:
