Mount Rushmore today showcases the sculpture of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln in the order from left to right. But initially, in the year 1923, the very first prototype of the wall sculpture saw Thomas Jefferson’s face on the opposite side of George Washington. As the sculpture went into 18 months of carving, the makers realized that the granite was weak to stand the face in that spot. His face was then dynamited off and was carved on the other side.
