Description

This is the first volume to include all of the existing work by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States and the father of American architecture.

Along with his numerous political achievements, Thomas Jefferson was also the first great architect of the United States. The Jeffersonian Classical style has been so influential that along with Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson, Jefferson is one of the three most recognized architects in American History.
