The NY State Memorial to Theodore Roosevelt may look like something from 1900, but was only completed by John Russell Pope in 1936, as an overscaled Beaux-Arts monument inspired by a Roman basilica hall.

The monumental murals glorify president Roosevelt in a very colorful way.

    I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights).
    But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
