Abstract
Description
The 1930's Washington's Headquarters Museum is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The museum features three exhibit galleries and an introductory video. It is the view looking north from the rear of the Ford Mansion that reveals the intent and inspiration of the Museum�s architect, John Russell Pope. From this perspective, the building strongly evokes of the sweep and grandeur of George Washington�s own Mount Vernon. Pope, the architect of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC, designed a structure that would secure the substantial collection of the Washington Association and other acquisitions, today numbering more than a half-million pieces. Inside, original documents, textiles, paintings, period weapons, prints, china, maps, and other artifacts�less than 1% of which have ever been seen by the public�are housed in its vaults. And outside, the stately character of Washington�s own hand in the architecture of Mount Vernon is echoed.
