2. Thomas Jefferson's Monticello - Charlottesville, Virginia



Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, designed this plantation mansion as his own Virginia home, and later co-designed the White House with architect Benjamin Latrobe.



Jefferson started construction on Monticello in 1769, and moved in to one section only a year later.

But it wasn't until he returned from years of duty in Europe that he added the Roman Neo-classic features for which the home is most photographed.
