Park Restoration Unlocks Details Of Noted Architect

"By the early 1930s, when he was asked to design the entrances to Pittsburgh's Frick Park, John Russell Pope was the last of a dying breed -- those architects who studied the great buildings of Greece, Italy and Paris in the late 1800s and came home to spread the gospel of classicism. Among his more than 200 commissions were the National Gallery of Art and National Archives in Washington, the Baltimore Museum of Art, wings for the British Museum and Tate Gallery in London, and many public buildings, monuments and country houses in historical styles."
