Monticello: Examples of Neoclassical Architecture

The most famous example of Neoclassical architecture in the United States is likely Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in Virginia. Monticello, which took nearly 40 years to build, demonstrates symmetry on a grand scale. A circular entrance hall marks the center of the home, and it is balanced by the large windows on either side. A fan-shaped window decorates the pedimented dormer -- another sure sign of Neoclassical style.
