D.C. Delivers Tower Crane for Building The Mall's Final Museum
Wednesday, June 5, 2013, by Valerie Paschall
Right now the space to the right of the Washington monument at 1400 Constitution Avenue NW is a giant pit, but a massive tower crane will be delivered and installed there this week and through the weekend. The project: the National Museum of African American Cultural History which broke ground last winter. It's a shame that we couldn't yet include this building in the Architectural Walking Tour around the National Mall because the shimmery copper exterior and unique basket-like shape are unlike any other building in the vicinity. However, the museum hopes to open in 2015.
