What is the maximum height for statues in Washington, D.C.?

Question

in feet

Answer 1

Didn't know there was one for STATUES. There is one for buildings --- That image of D.C. was threatened, many people believed, in 1894 at 16th and Q streets NW where Thomas Franklin Schneider built the 14-story Cairo apartment tower (today a condominium building), which soared to the unprecedented height of 160 feet.

Neighbors cried foul, and Congress in 1899 enacted a height limit for the District prohibiting private buildings from topping out higher than the Capitol, which reaches 288 feet above Capitol Hill at the crest of the Statue of Freedom.

A revised height law in 1910 did away with the fixed maximum. That legislation, still in effect, states that no new building may be more than 20 feet taller than the width of the street in front of it.

For example, the height limit for buildings fronting a 110-foot-wide stretch of Connecticut Avenue NW is 130 feet, while the limit for buildings facing 60-foot-wide residential streets in Cleveland Park would be 80 feet. At some parts of Pennsylvania Avenue, however, a height limit of 160 feet is permitted.

Answer 2

I heard there can be no structures in Washington DC higher than 100 ft tall.
