Jefferson Pier (Washington D.C. (District of Columbia))


Jefferson Pier, Jefferson Stone, or the Jefferson Pier Stone, marks the second prime meridian of the United States, even though it was never officially recognized, either by presidential proclamation, by a resolution or by an act of Congress.

It is located due south of the center of the White House and the midline of 16th Street, NW, due west of the center of the Capitol, due north of the center of the Jefferson Memorial and 390 ft (119 m) WNW of the center of the Washington Monument.
