Description
Thomas Jefferson, Architect and Builder by Ihna Thayer Frary is a comprehensive study of the architectural and building work of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. This book explores Jefferson's life as a designer and builder, from his early years as a student of architecture in Virginia to his time as a statesman in Washington, D.C. Frary delves into Jefferson's architectural style, which was heavily influenced by classical Greek and Roman architecture. She examines his most famous works, including the design of the Virginia State Capitol, the University of Virginia, and his own home, Monticello. The book also provides insight into Jefferson's building practices, including his use of innovative building materials and techniques. The author explores the challenges Jefferson faced as a builder, such as constructing buildings in rugged terrain and navigating political pressures as a public figure. This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint, offering a unique look at the life and work of one of America's most influential architects and builders.
