[edit] doors not been opened

A recent change to the article added the footnote that:

The interior was completely finished; its bronze doors have not been opened within living memory.

This is strange and certainly untrue. The strange part is the phrasing "in living memory". What does this mean?

But perhaps more to the point, it is untrue. First, the monument has one, and only one door. And second, the doors have been opened on many occasions; I have stood inside the monument at least three times. I used to visit it frequently, and sometimes during the summer it would be open, and I would go in.

Your brief description of the interior would be valuable. --Wetman 21:02, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I've never been inside of it, but I have noticed small stalactites growing on it.--RLent 21:09, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
