Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia, Hotel E, Charlottesville, VA - 1822
In addition to the famous library at the University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson designed the Academic Village, a cluster of pavilions, linked by arcades, that served as housing for students and teachers alike. As an ensemble it is one of the finest pieces of Palladian architecture in the world and inspired generations of traditional American buildings. Each pavilion on its own is a delightful essay in applying the elements of American colonial architecture to a modest sized dwelling.
The prints you are purchasing are crisp, high resolution black line copies on white bond paper. The original drawings were beautifully delineated in 1986. This extensive set of 8 drawing sheets includes a site plan, the main floor plan, 3 elevations with partial sections, a full section and details of both the interior and exterior. This particular pavilion is called Hotel E and is located in the southwestern corner of the village.
As a work of art these prints are worth purchasing in their own right. For those of you interested in building a historically inspired house, these plans could easily be adapted to a flat to moderately sloping sight. The house has 4 large rooms on the main floor which is over a low ground floor, almost a raised basement. It could be adapted to either a suburban or country setting.

SHIPPING: Your drawings are shipped to you, rolled, not folded, in a Priority Mail tube. The pictures on eBay show typical sheets with borders. Each sheet has a similar border with title. If you have any questions about these drawings or others that I am offering, please contact me. I will do my utmost to answer your questions.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BUILD: These plans are not complete architectural drawings as might be required by your local permitting agency and do not contain all the structural, waterproofing and other details and information necessary for construction. But your local builder or architect should be able to adapt these drawings and add to them as necessary. What they do provide is accurate design information about a REAL Colonial house, not a pseudo-colonial tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.
