In the spring of 1772 ,US President,Thomas Jefferson organised a competition for designing a master plan for the X with a deadline of four months.The prize for the winners included $500 and a plot in Washington DC.Almost ten participants forwarded their entries but ironically none of them was chosen.Even the most favored plan was rejected because of too much french touch in it.Finally a plan submitted by another amateur architect after the deadlines were over was chosen.The plan was greatly inspired by east front of the Louvre, as well as the Paris Pantheon for the center portion of the design.
