One of the most famous hoses in the united states is Monticello. It was the home
Of Thomas Jefferson the third President of the United States. Located on a hill
Near Charlotesville, Virginia it has a baeutiful view of the surrounding countryside
The house is famous first of all because it belonged to a President It is also a fine
Example of early 19 century American architecture. Jefferson designed it himself
In a style he admired in Italy. Many American buildings of that time in fact imitate
European styles. But while most were just imitations his Monticello is lovely in
Itself. Furthermore the design combines a graceful style with a typical American
Concern for comfort and function
