The fifth year capped the the shaft and zocle base, and raised to its height, the pedestal surmounting the whole, which w^as to receive the statue. Here operations were suspended for a time, and the work allowed to attain that solidity which was necessary, pre[)aratory to receiving its colossal statue. In 1824 the scafiblding around the Monu- ment was removed, and the column displayed in honor of the visit to Baltimore, of the friend of Washington, the venerated La Fayette. In 1826, the marble ...terrace or roof over the grand base was laid, and soon after the marble steps to the four entrances of the same erected. In )835, the lower terrace, formed of marble slabs, and the footways around the grand base, of granite slabs, together with the marble plinth, for receiving the iron railing, were laid, as also the tessalatcd marble pave- ment inside of the Monument. In 1836, the rich iron palisade fence, with its ornamented gates, enclosing the whole Monu- ment, were put up, as also the tripods upon the blockings of the steps of entrance, and the bronze inscriptions upon the four facades of the grand base.
