Hello -
Please join us for the next in our regular monthly series of free
Department of the Interior Library Park Ranger Speaker Series lectures
on "The Architecture of John Russell Pope" next Tuesday, November 18th
from 1:00 - 1:45 pm in the Department of the Interior Library.
John Russell Pope was a noted and celebrated architect during the first
half of the 20th century. He was chosen to be the architect of many
memorials and important buildings throughout the country, including the
Jefferson Memorial, Masonic Temple, National Archives Building, DAR
Constitution Hall, and National Gallery of Art (West Building) all here
in Washington, DC. Pope and his architectural firm consistently produced
dignified architecture of classical inspiration, helping lead a
Neo-Classical revival throughout the country.
Please join National Park Service Ranger Eric Pominville for a look at
the life of John Russell Pope, the local monuments and buildings he
designed, and how his architectural style continues to influence
architects to this day.
All that are interested are invited. The DOI Library is located in the
Main Interior Building, located at 1849 C Street, NW, Room 1151 in
