In 1920, Congress approved the placement of a new delineation stone on the Ellipse, the Zero Milestone, which is an itinerary marker from which official mileages from Washington would be determined.[note 2] The new marker, a gift of the Lee Highway Association, was for some reason placed one foot west of the original meridian line extending north-south from the center of the White House.
In 1943, the Jefferson Memorial was completed due south of the White House on the Washington Meridian.[note 1][21] As a result, the Jefferson Pier now stands on a north-south line that passes near the centers of the "President's house" and the memorial dedicated to the president for whom the Pier is named.
So the Jefferson memorial.. if you go down from that line.. that's the same line.
The Jefferson Memorial was connected to the White house when I was little being dragged on tours they don't give anymore. The entire of DC is full of tunnels connecting buildings. But, it's kind of like how. " The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" is misnamed these days. Due to DNA tech, we have known who that is for a long time.
I'm not kidding you. Your best bet is to find someone with vacation pics / video before digital. There's been a whole lot of change in DC.
Hang on.. reading this here..
