Thomas Jefferson Memorial Bronze Statue Marble Columns Washington DC United States // WASHINGTON, D.C. — The bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson stands illuminated between marble columns inside the Jefferson Memorial. Sculpted by Rudulph Evans, the 19-foot-tall bronze figure was installed in 1947, replacing an original plaster version used during World War II metal shortages. The surrounding Neoclassical rotunda, designed by architect John Russell Pope, frames the monument with un-fluted Ionic columns carved from Imperial Danby marble.
