🎧 Listen to Introduction

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), author of the Declaration of Independence and the third president of the United States, was also a talented architect of neoclassical buildings. He designed Monticello (1769-1809), his plantation home, and his ideal "village of learning" (1817-26), which still serves as the center of the University of Virginia. Jefferson's use of an architectural vocabulary based on classical antiquity symbolized both the aspirations of the new American republic as the heir to European traditions and the expectations that this could be expected as the nation matured.
