Monticello - Home of Thomas Jefferson    

Designed by Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence and the third President of the United States, this beautiful Italian Renaissance building in Charlottesville, Virginia was modeled on the work of famed sixteenth century Italian architect Andrea Palladio.

Jefferson named it Monticello, which in Italian means 'Little Mountain".  Built in 1772, it remained his home until his death in 1826.  Jefferson also designed the University of Virginia, which he founded.  Both of these buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places and both are listed as Unesco World Heritage Sites.
