ARCHITECT: THOMAS JEFFERSON (1772)


The fall colors were fantastic on our visit to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's beautiful and historic home in Virginia.
Jefferson was only 26 when he began designing this neoclassical/palladian style home.

The structure is very successful as a period piece with several small personal innovations.
