The Penn State Obelisk
http://www.ems.psu.edu/
Constructed in 1896, the obelisk, also called the polylith, stands 32.7
feet high and weighs 53.4 tons. This "pile of rocks" was created the
same year the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences (formerly the School
of Mines) came into existence. The obelisk, built by State College
stonemason Michael Womer, began as a kind of answer to all the requests
the college had been receiving for information on stones.
