Final Jeopardy Explanation 

The structure referred to in your query, which was dedicated with Senator John Sherman saying, “simple in form… it rises into the skies higher than any other work of human art,” is the Washington Monument.

Its design, a simple yet imposing obelisk, was chosen to reflect the timeless nature of Washington’s legacy, symbolizing both strength and the foundational role he played in the United States’ history.
