The third president created an American ideal in architecture that can be seen in numerous structures that define the landscape of his resident state of Virginia  and comprise what has come to be regarded as classic American colonial design. Combining beautiful images  informative  accessible text  and removable memorabilia  this book celebrates the design of Jeffersons four most notable structures: the University of Virginia  his Monticello home  the Poplar Forest retreat  and the Virginia State Capitol. Monticello is the only home in the United States designated as a World Heritage Site. This Charlottesville  Virginia residence is featured on the reverse side of the nickel  and brings more than 450 000 visitors to its halls each year. However  guests are only allowed viewing on the ground floor and in the cellar; Thomas Jefferson: Architect will be one of the few places to reveal the second and third floors. Thomas Jefferson has never ceased to intrigue both the scholar and the casual history reader. New works about his life  his politics  and his writings continue to be published each year. As historical narratives dominate the nonfiction landscape  Jefferson remains a central figure in American history  and this unique volume adds a new facet to this fascinating man.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986509328437,"sku":"ByrdShop_0762434384","price":30.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780762434381.jpg?v=1770907985","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/thomas-jefferson-architect-the-interactive-portfolio","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
