THOMAS JEFFERSON MEMORIAL
The dome and colonnades of this emblematic building in the Mall pay tribute to the 3rd President of the History of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, whose impressive statue stands under the dome. This memorial is Roosevelt's initiative. His architect, John Russell Pope, wanted to pay tribute to the taste of Jefferson for Roman architecture and palladian (those who visited his home of Virginie in Virginia), drawing on the Pantheon of Rome. Between late March and mid-April, the memorial emerges from the trees of the 3 000 cherry trees of Japan in bloom, a gift made by Japan in 1912.
