Thomas Jefferson Memorial Bronze Statue Ionic Marble Columns Washington DC United States // WASHINGTON, District of Columbia — The bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson stands framed by white marble Ionic columns inside the Jefferson Memorial. Designed by architect John Russell Pope in the Neoclassical style, the rotunda utilizes Vermont Danby marble to echo Jefferson's own architectural preferences. The 19-foot-tall bronze sculpture was created by artist Rudulph Evans and installed in 1947, replacing a temporary plaster cast used during World War II metal shortages.
