THOMAS JEFFER > SON Memorial Foundn tion is raising a million ■». dollars l»y popular sub ►; scrlption to acquire Mon ticello and maintain it as vwyShfo a national memorial to P<SY~ tlie man whose hand put m i Ml ie Declaration of Inde yftf ftu/l pendence on paper. Tlie difficulties that have heretofore prevented the acquisition of Jefferson’s Virginia home as a per manent memorial have been overcome. Jefferson M. Levy, present owner of Monticello, whose family has held title to the property since his uncle. Com modore Uriah P. Levy of the United States navy, bought it in 1833, seven years after Jefferson’s death, has al ways been an ardent admirer of the author of the Declaration of Independ ence and was loath to part with Mon ticello. Patriotic motives finally in fluenced him to enter into an agree ment with the Memorial Foundation. Monticello was Jefferson’s home from 1770 till his death, July 4, 1820, and therefore famous. But with Its passage out of the possession of the Jefferson family a little more than a century ago, it was all but forgotten by tlie public; not completely, how ever, because in 1805 tlie legality of the will of Commodore Uriah Phillips Levy, leaving the estate to the federal or to the state government for use as an agricultural college, or to Hebrew charity organizations, was contested in the courts by his family. In 1912 a bill was introduced in congress by Representative Martin W. Littleton providing for the purchase of Monti cello by the nation. Although tlie time was propitious because the Dem ocratic party had just returned to power, the bill wns not passed, nor was it In 1917 when it was revived. Jefferson, as every good American knows or should know, was third Pres ident of the United States, 1801-09. He was born in Virginia April 18, 1743. He was graduated from William and Mary college in 17G2 and admitted to the bar in 1707. He wns member of the Continental congress, 1775-1776; member of the committee —Jefferson, Adams, Slierman, Franklin and Liv ingston—to draft the Declaration of Independence; one of the signers; a leading member of tlie Virginia legis lature, 1770; governor of Virginia, 1779; member of congress, 1783; min ister to France, 1781-1789; secretary of state, 1790-1794, under Washington; vice president, 1797-ISOI in the ad ministration of John Adams; founder of tlie University of Virginia; mar ried, 1772, Martha Wales Skelton; died July 4, IS2O, at Monticello; left one son and five daughters. While President. Jefferson pursued a vigorous policy of hence the phrase "Jeffersonian simplicity.” He made many political removals from oflice, the beginning of the “spoils system” of Jackson’s time. The prin cipal events of nis administration were these: The war against Tripoli, because of piracy against American vessels; the Louisiana purchase from France; the passage of the twelfth amendment to the Constitution; the duel between Hamilton and Burr and Burr’s trial for treason; the Lewis and Clark expedition; Pike's expedi tion to the Rocky mountains; Eng land’s assertion of the right to search American vessels for British desert ers ; the embargo act; Fulton's Cler mont In regular service between New York and Albany; an act prohibiting the slave trade HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH. GEORGIA. Montleello Is peculiarly fitted to be a Jefferson shrine because he himself planned and built the mansion. Its location Is about three miles from Charlotte, the seat of the University of Virginia, which Jefferson founded. On every side from the spot which Jefferson selected as the site of his home stretch great reaches of some of the most beautiful country in the United States. The site of Jefferson’s birthplace, Shadwell, Is only a short distance away. He himself selected the site for his mountain home, drew the de signs and plans for the house, select ed the stone and timber used in the structure, looked after the construc tion of the brick and 'he nails made by his own servants, devised advanced and ingenious contrivances for com fort and convenience, designed the decoration of the interior and per sonally selected the fumirhings and ornaments, and not only planned but gave personal supervision to the lay ing out of the various buildings on the estate, the gardens, the walks and the roadways. Work was begun on the house in 17G4. When Shadwell was destroyed by fire in 1770. Montleello was far enough completed for the family to move in. Two years later he brought his bride, Martha Wayles Skelton, there, al though a greater part of the house was still unfinished. Indeed, through out his life, Montleello continued in minor ways, as his biographer Raynor puts it, to be in a state of almost constant edification and re edification. In ISO 3, there were still rooms to be plastered, in ISOS the main house it self might be said to be completed, but long after that he experimented with garden temples and other small er buildings. Though architecture was only a hobby with Jefferson, today he Is ac claimed a great architect. Anyway Montleello is not the only example of his work; he is responsible for the structure of several other plantation houses in the neighborhood and took great delight during his last years in planning the buildings of the Univer sity of Virginia and overseeing their construction. The exterior of Montleello —“Little Mountain” —is in the Doric order of architecture. The interior is in the lonic style. A portico, the full height of the house, with stone pillars and steps projects 25 feet. It is a brick mansion 100 by 100 feet, with white pillars, cornices and balustrades sur mounted by a dome, standing in the midst of a lawn overlooking river, woodlands and fertile valley, with s view of mountains to the west and c: t: 1: »§/, ,J .», . . ••* ■'s**"! mp'• '< / & M- - /' 'I jilr Jm- Htr - W L -MX ■~s§l w l'i" .

The appearance is of one story and entering the hall one is still de ceived, for Jefferson disliked stair cases to such an extent that he shut them all up In closets. The hall shows only a gallery on which the bedrooms open. In the dome Itself Jefferson planned a billiard room, but a law was passed by the state before it was completed, forbidding the game and so it was left in an unfinished state. The wings of the house end in octagonal projections; the northern one containing the dining room, tea room and two guest rooms, the south ern forming Jefferson’s private suite, sitting room, library and bedroom. Under the dome on the west is the great drawing room, famous for its parquette flooring of native woods and its pillared portico. There were 552 acres in the estate. More notable of the architectural featuresl of the house is the hiding away of t all signs of kitchen, laundry, stable and the many workshops nec essary on a plantation of that period when almost every article in daily use was manufactured on the estate by servants and slaves. The sharp declivity of the mountain made it pos sible to have these offices all at a lower level than the house. A tunnel from the basement leads right and left to one-story pavilions, used by the slaves. By this contrivance dish washers, cooks, butlers, maids, troops of slaves with wood for fires, cans of ashes, pails of hot or cold water did their work without disturbing the tranquillity of the family and their guests. An oddity contrived by Jeffer son is a dumb-waiter for hoisting wine from the cellar, with a capacity of but one bottle. Montleello, undoubtedly the finest mansion in that section of Virginia, cost Its owner, according to his ac count books, about $7,200. The orna mental stone was brought from Phil adelphia to Richmond by water and hauled from Richmond in carts. When Jefferson in ISO 9 eompletet his second term as President, he has tened to Montleello; there he hoped to find privacy, freedom and leisure. In a measure, perhaps, he realized them. He enjoyed society, but he did not relish the intrusion of Idle, curi ous fellow countrymen who came to stare and finger. Capt. Edmund Baker, for 20 years Jeffersrn’s overseer and man of busi ness, said that Jefferson’s visitors “ate him out of house and home.” Any way. on Jefferson’s death the estate was so impoverished that his heirs were compelled to part with Monti cello.
