They Finished It Just In Time

We are just glad that they managed to wrap it all up by mid-2015. After all, it was completed just before the 200th anniversary of its construction. For one, Millspaugh had been thrilled with the result of the project. “The monument has been restored to its original condition – the way it was originally built. They wanted to do everything historically correct[ly],” she informed the Baltimore Business Journal.

The Project Was A Success

It was a huge success! By the end of the restoration, it was more pleasant to look at. It was also more stable. In terms of sprucing up the site, the workers ended up getting more than they thought they would. We are talking about the discovery of the cornerstone, which is essentially a time capsule.

A Success!
