File Eggers & Higgins office.jpg thumb right Eggers and Higgins in their New York City offices in a 1941 photo. Eggers & Higgins was a New York architecture architectural firm partnered by Otto Reinhold Eggers 1882 1964 and Daniel Paul Higgins 1886 1953 . The architects were responsible for the construction phase of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial beginning in 1939, two years after the death of its original architect, John Russell Pope , despite protests that their appointment had been undemocratic and therefore un Jeffersonian. Critics argued a competition should have been held to choose Pope s successor. In 1941, they also completed construction of Pope s other famous design, the West Building of the National Gallery of Art , also in Washington D.C. . The pair were long time associates of Pope in the firm he founded in 1903 as the Office of John Russell Pope, Architect.
