It's a monument to our first President. It's in the shape of an obelisk or tall spire. It was built by members of the Masonic Fraternity according to their principles.

Strangely the pentagram did not have it's current meaning when Washington DC was designed. About the time Le fount (sorry, forget the spelling) was drawing the designs for DC, a book was written that included the pentagram as being associated with the devil. There is no evidence that Le fount (or his successor) was aware of this book or that he knew the author. The book was not widely published and was fairly obscure until Hollywood popularized it in the late 1950's and early 1960's. If you take a few minutes to research the original designs you will see that it included many diagonal streets (any and all of which could be used to make various shapes). This "theory" has no substance to it whatsoever.

It represents for George Washington our first President and commanding general against the British.

I thought it was built in honour of George Washington, your first President.
