• In 1930, New York Architect John Russell Pope was selected to design the National Archives Building. Pope's neoclassical design included both the practical and symbolic aspects of housing the nation's records. He proposed a monumental structure with highly decorative architectural features, giant Corinthian columns, 40-foot bronze doors, and inscriptions representing the building's historical importance. Pope also designed the National Gallery and the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C.
