In 1930, New York Architect John Russell Pope was selected to design the National Archives Building. Pope s neoclassical design included both 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. John Russell Pope also designed the National Gallery and the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C.
