Every two years, the Washington Mid-Atlantic chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art holds a design competition recognizing fine classical work in the region. The awards are named after John Russell Pope, a New York-based architect who designed significant classical buildings in the nation’s capital, including the Jefferson Memorial and the National Gallery of Art. After a jury of experts selected this year’s winning projects, the chapter announced the 2021 awards at a gala held on September 24 at the Sulgrave Club in Washington.
A selection of winning projects is pictured on these pages; for more information, visit classicist-washington.org.
