Pictured in the header is the Washington Monument during the process of construction. It currently towers 555 feet and can be seen from just about anywhere in the national capital. Thanks to a building height limitation in Washington, the monument continues to be the capital’s tallest building. It has been noted previously on this site in the biography of E. A. Smyth that the life stories posted are heavily weighted towards members of the clergy—whether they are called teaching elders or ministers. The reason for the imbalance is that ruling elders, deacons, and other church members are known to historians for their professions and public presence but not necessarily for their church work. In the case of the Washington Monument a Presbyterian enters the picture because it was designed by a gifted and talented architect, Ruling Elder Robert Mills. Mills was an industrious, creative, well-known figure in his day, but his importance to architectural and church history has been lost to the passage of time.

As a student of Benjamin Henry Latrobe in Philadelphia, Robert Mills gained a thorough knowledge of the Classical Revival and became a sought-after, if not commercially successful, architect whose monuments, courthouses, residences, and churches illustrate his adept handling of the popular Greek Revival. Born in Charleston, SC, Mills received training in the office of James Hoban for approximately two years (c. 1800-1802) before moving to Philadelphia and beginning his association with Latrobe. His nearly 10-year relationship with Latrobe made the most lasting impact on the young architect, perhaps even more than his contact with Thomas Jefferson, who generously lent him pertinent architectural books and from whom he sought a recommendation in 1808 as he prepared to launch his own office. By 1809 Mills was engaged on the first of several Philadelphia commissions, the speculative Franklin Row (South 9th Street, between Locust and Walnut, 1809-1810). Other important Philadelphia commissions would follow: Washington Hall (1809;Copyright ©giglard.pages.dev 2025
