Jeffersonian Style Home

Thomas Jefferson, The United States of America's third president and known for the Jeffersonian Style Home, became well noted for his architectural styles.

A self-taught architect, President Jefferson viewed homes of early America as, "...impossible to devise things more ugly, uncomfortable, and happily more perishable."

Seeking to design homes and buildings with style, comfort and stamina, Thomas Jefferson looked towards the Roman inspired works of architect Andrea Palladio.

Monticello, the home where Jefferson took his last breath, is just one such creation.

Other contributions designed by President Jefferson were portions of the United States White House, as well as many other masterpieces.

Common Jeffersonian features may include:

      Pedimented Portico

      Smooth Columns

      Room shapes include: Circle, Oval or Octagonal

      Red Brick Exterior

      White Classic Trim and Moldings
