When a monument is up for renovation after two centuries, there are various details that need to be kept in mind. There are various aspects, but the most important one is working on the structure’s joints so that the sturdiness is maintained. The whole weight lies on these joints, and if they are not taken care of, there are high chances that the whole structure will oust itself. There were also a few touch-ups done in the terms of masonry. The Washington statue was also given an overhaul with the necessary facelift.

Apart from the restoration works, the structure also got a few other enhancements. Among the various improvements, the most important ones were the upgrades that were done for the lighting and heating setup. The security arrangements were also given a bump up. The overall renovations brought a new life to the structure.
