I'm still curious about the Lincoln memorial though. It is in a perfect line with the capital and the Washington monument. It would make sense that it would have a masonic meaning if the others did.

Actually the Romans derived the name from Jupiter Capitolinus (Jupiter of the Capitoline) who was also know as Jupiter Optimus Maximus (Jupiter Best and Greatest). It was the location of the Temple of Jupiter and the name Capitoline derives from the Latin word caput which means skull. legend has it that Tarquin, fifth king of Rome discovered one will digging the foundations for the temple.
