Inside is the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Magna Carta, and much more! Located just right down the street from the National Mall. John Russell Pope was the man who designed the blueprints for the building. His idea was to bring back the classical revivalism to washington and this building more than certainly has completed it. It was built in the 1930's and now houses many varieties of different documents. Even a movie, National Treasure, was filmed inside as the Declaration of Independence was stolen.
