Measured drawing delineated by Timothy A. Buehner, Isabel C. Yang, Hugh D. Hughes, 1989-92. (Reproduction Number: HABS, VA,2-CHAR.V,1- Sheet 21 of 32) President Thomas Jefferson designed his home, Monticello, as a sophisticated and innovative structure that could serve as a model of architecture for his fellow countrymen. Constructed between 1768 and 1809, Monticello has become known as one of the greatest works of western architecture, being designated as a World Heritage Site in 1987. Much has been written about Jefferson's passion for architecture and the antecedents for his designs. Floor plans and photographs of the house have been widely published, but it was not until the HABS section drawings were produced that one could illustrate how the geometrically complex spaces integrated vertically.
