The Jefferson Memorial
The Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. is America’s foremost memorial to the third President of the United States. The circular, colonnaded structure is an adaptation of Neoclassical architecture, a style that was introduced to America by Thomas Jefferson. Architect John Russell Pope used Jefferson’s own architectural tastes in the design of the memorial. Construction of the memorial was completed in 1943.
The Jefferson Memorial is part of the National Mall and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

When I visited Wash DC in high school, my favorite place was Jefferson Memorial; we went at night and it was beautiful. I think is is overlooked for the Wash & Lincoln Memorials. PS- that was a loooooong time ago!
