Larry Helm The height of the monument was "proposed at 55 feet and 5.5 inches", but construction was stopped in 1858 at 152 feet. These dimensions are confusing, and there is no information about the final dimensions of the monument. 10/17/2009

M. Leviton This article does not mention that the height of the monument is 555 feet. There is a reference to 55.5 feet. If this is meant to be the height, it is incorrect. 10/3/2009
