Washington was a big, powerfully-built man, by all accounts.I am surprised to find that george Washington was 6 foot 2... I'd wondered if that explained the teeny table in front of his portrait in the Thanksgiving room ...
"The tallest U.S. president was Abraham Lincoln at 6 feet 4 inches (193 centimeters), while the shortest was James Madison at 5 feet 4 inches (163 centimeters)."
Mind, I always thought that Obama was near 6'4", at least
