What is this building in the picture?

I'm trying to figure out what it is. Maybe some monument design that was scrapped? Any help appreciated.

Think you're right, it was a proposed monument designed that wasn't used. In some ways, it looks a lot like Soldiers Field in Chicago (take away the obelisk), but it's also possible it was one of the designs for the Washington Monument. Where did you dig this up?

Hard to tell from the size of the photo, but the bottom part looks very similar to the Vittorio Emmanuel monument in Rome with the Washington Monument stuck on top.
Could this be some doctored photo/political statement trying to link Washington and Rome?
