• Product Description

• The angular design on our exclusive National Archives pet collar is inspired by the stunning golden detailing inside the impressive Archives building, which is in neoclassical revival style. It makes a striking pattern here on a collar for your pet and is a quiet nod to our incredible temple of American history.

In 1930, New York Architect John Russell Pope was selected to design the National Archives Building. Pope's neoclassical design included both practical and symbolic aspects of housing the nation's records. He proposed a monumental structure with highly decorative architectural features, giant Corinthian columns, 40-foot bronze doors, and inscriptions representing the building's historical importance.

Construction began in 1931 with a groundbreaking ceremony on Pennsylvania Avenue. On February 20, 1933, President Herbert Hoover laid the cornerstone of the building, dedicating it to the people of the United States.

In December 2023, the National Archives Building was designated as a National Historic Landmark.
