One student commented, "this is the coolest house ever," referring to Jefferson home and its many unique features... too many to list here. The architecture is Roman neoclassical and serves as the style for many other historical structures in America, including the White House, Capitol building, Virginia State House, and the original campus of University of Virginia. The last two being designed by Jefferson himself. As Monticello was constantly a work in progress, it took 40 years to complete construction, finishing in time for Jefferson to return to after serving as president. Now we are heading back to Williamsburg for dinner and then a witch trial.
