married a widow of means, although
he was himself very wealthy by inher-
itance, having before marriage an in
come of about SIS, 900 year an i'm
mense sum in those days. Jefferson
at the time of his marriage was the
owner of an estate of 5000 acres and
his wife brought to him as her dowry
no less than 100000 acres, so that
with such a baronial estate 1t was
indeed fitting that he should de-
sign an imposing manor house to
occupy Little Mountain, the swell OF
land on the estate which was chosen
as a site and which commanded a
magnificent view Of panorama that
embraced woodland and pasture.
Jefferson had chosen the site for
his home while yet student, so that
he had years of thought to give to
the manor house which he ultimately
designed and erected on the ten acre
tract crowning the 6OO-foot hill which
had long since caught his fancy. The
boor plan which he evolved Is sugses-
tive of gigantic letter E with the
wings opening westward. To the
north and south were placed the
walks or promenades, supported by
masonry structures containing SER

founder and the first head, and for
which institution ne not only design
ed the buildings but evolved every de-
tail of the arrangements of the
grounds
But Jefferson's home county in the
Old Dominion has by no means a
monopoly of the heritage of architec-
tural wealth which he left to the ma
ton whose early pilot he was. Fe
left this impress of his ideas in our
Capitol Building at Washington-ad-
mittedly the most Imposing govern
mental structure of its kind in the
world; he helped plan the capital
city, the symmetrical arrangement of
whose streets and avenues has served
as a model for the worlds newer
seats of government such as those OF
Canada and Australia; and mos in
teresting, of all, perhaps, his archi-
tectural influence is manifest in the
plan of the White House which, as
restored during the Roosevelt admin
istration in accordance with the orig
inal drawings gives conspicuous place
to features such as the terraces which
are plainly borrowed" from the JEFF"
fersonian masterpiece, Monticello.
In most of his architectural work
Jefferson leaned most pronouncedly
+o +ho oJooo;coI Soma NJ tha buildings
which he designed for his particular
hobby-the University of Virginia,

Grecian structures. This tendency
evidences the fact that in his allegi-
ance to architecture, as in all else,
Jefferson was a deep student. Pos
sibly too, Jefferson's travels in Eu-
rope and his residence In France as

a commissioner of the new Republic Of
the Western Hemisphere raay have
helped to mould his architectural
ideals in this direction. And yet 1t
may be of interest to struggling
young architects and others that the
author of the Declaration Of Inde-
pendenee never believed in the idea
of Americans going to Europe for an
education. He once wrote: 1T ap-
pears TO ne that IN American coming
to Europe for an education loses in
his knowledge, in his morals, In his
health, in his habits and in his hap
piness"
Jefferson's love of the classics
manifested itself when he was quite a
young boy. He repeatedly declared
that if he were left to decide between
the pleasure derived from the classi-
cal education which his farther had
given him and the large estate which
he inherited he would have decided in
favor of the former. When in col
lege, which course he began at the
age of seventeen, he read the most
difficult Latin and Greek authors
with facility. AS young man he be-
gan the study of architecture both
practically and as science, divid-
ing his leisure between this pursuit
and his beloved violin.
1t was by no means strange that
Jefferson's best architectural talent
should have been called up in design
ing Monticello, for in the role OF a
lover-husband fashioned it as the
ideal abode for himself and the beau
tiful and wealthy bride whom he had
married at the age Of twenty-nine'

Not only was Jefferson a practical
architect, but buildings we're erected
in accordance with hia plans,+ in

instructions as to the type of memori-
al to be reared over his last resting
place and composed himself the in
scription which was chiseled thereon.
From an architectural standpoint
the most notable products Of Jeffer-
sons skill as an architect are located
in the highlands of Albemarle, that
picturesque section Of cid Virginia IN
and around the quaint little city OF
Charlottesville a favored region
which held in the affections or
our third President the place that
Mount Vernon coupled IN the heart OF
George Washington. Here 's located

residence which Jefferson designed
for himself and which happily en-

on it-then as now, az ideal example

the whole world. Jefferson'a plan
for the educational system Of the
university was, from the outset, an
elastic one that would permit expan-
sion in accordance with the advance
of thought and the extension OF
knowledge and so likewise the archi-
tectural plan which he Formulated
for "the child of his old age" as the
university has been called, was like
wise designed to provide an arrange
ment and grouping of buildings, the
symmetry of which would not be az
fected by any additions that would
have to be made in later years. The
scheme has worked out just as he
foresaw and the newer buildings are
in perfect harmony with those de-
signed by Jefferson. ~
In his preparation Of designs for
the university buildings, Jefferson re-
ceived much of his inspiration from
the historic designs of Pahadio and
in his adoption of these he proved
himself an artist as well as an archt-
tect. The arrangement on the build
, ings has been compared to that Of an
old Italian monastery. The: original
group, planned and built under Jef-
ferson's personal supervision, consists
of four parallel rows Of structures
and at one end stands the Pantheon
like rotunda. Many Of the buildings
are replicas Of historic buildings of
ancient times. The students quar-
ters on each side Of the quadrangle
are reproductions Of Roman villas
and are so designed that each stu
dent has a separate outside entrance
to his room.
The replica Of the Pantheon, above
mentioned, is about one-third tine
size or it's Grecian model. 1T Is used
as a library and in the rotunda are
many interesting relics OF JEFFERSON
including communications written
during the closing years OF his life

Each recurring Fourth OF July
finds a grateful republic doing fit
honor to the memory of Thomas JEFF
Serson, author of the Declaration of
independence. And each successive
holiday finds our public speakers and
school teachers, toast masters and
orators of the day extolling not mere
ly the authorship of the declaration
but other varied accomplishments OF
our most versatile statesman. He Is
praised as President of the United
States, as the founder Of a great po-
litical party, as diplomatist who
aided in winning foreign sympathy
for the young republic, as a
champion OF religious liberty and as
the founder of the University Of Vir-
ginia-a truly model seat OF learn
ing.
Yet with singular unanimity these
Fourth of July orators overlook one
OF Jefferson's most notable, accom-
plishments and one in which he took
perhaps greater pride than in any
other. In consequence Ct this over
sight there are probably few persons
who, lest they have had opportunity
careful study Of his biography, are
aware that Thomas Jefferson was an
architect. ,Iot merely theoretical
architect, mind you, but a practical
exponent of the profession, who dem
onstrated by actual achievement that
ne possessed no mean ability in this
sphere.
Architecture was not mere hobby
with Thomas Jefferson in the sense
that golf is the hobby Of the present
occupant of the white. House or that
natural history, in one form. or an
other was with his strenuous prede-
cessor. On the contrary he applied
himself to the art seriously and
turned the results of this application
to practical account. It would seem
as though there must have been
something in the air during the Pc
1iod when Jefferson lived, that
turned mems minds to architecture as
q field of endeavor. A number OF the
leaders of the period, particularly IN
the State of Virginia, Mother OF
Presidents" dabblcd in architecture

The mansion at Monticello was under
construction for So years. Work was
commenced in ITO, tVo years be-
fore Jefferson was married, and 1t
dragged along, with FREQ .ent changes
in the plans, until 1902, when Jeffer-
son was President Of the United
States. However If Jefferson was. a
slow-goiug architect, no person car
say that he was an economical one
for according to the account books
which the architect-builder Eept with
that n thodic care for which he was
famous, the house involved an actual
monetary outlay of only $1,000. Or
course, the work was done by slaves
and most of the material was obtain
ed on the estate. Bricks were made
on the site by the slaves (of which
Jefferson had several hundred, al
though he was always opposed to
slavery and made attempts to abolish
| it) and the Sage of Monticello even
established on the estate a nail-fac-
tory where every nail used in the con-
struction of the building was forged.
Next ito Monticello the classic
buildings of the University OF Vir-
ginia represent the most interesting
and most important achievements OF
Thomas Jefferson, architect. The
forerunner Of the University Of Vir-
ginia, which was, by the way, the
first university established In the New
World, was authorized by the State
Legislature of Virginia in 1903, the
( year following the completion OF
Monticello. However no headway
was made with the nroject until
March, 1914, when Jefferson, the real
head and founder Of the institution
