The Thomas Jefferson Memorial stands in West Potomac Park on the shore of the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. Designed in the neoclassical style by New York architect John Russell Pope and built of marble and bronze by Philadelphia contractor John McShain, it was constructed between 1939 and 1943. Its aesthetic draws on the Roman Pantheon and Jefferson's own rotunda at the University of Virginia. The bronze statue of Jefferson was not added until 1947, four years after the memorial opened.
