Saw this guy on a sidewalk this morning
Monticello Visitors Center
Monticello. This was Thomas Jefferson's home
He had a nice view!
Clock and compass. Jefferson designed and had the house built to his specifications.
You are only allowed to take pictures in the one room. It is a round room with a domed roof. You can see the room in some of the pictures of the outside of the house.
He had a fireplace with a dumb waiter built into each side of it to send wine up to him and his guests from the whine cellar. Here is the bottom end of it.
