Editorial Reviews
Review
"Professor K. Edward Lay gives us not only a splendid county architectural history but a rich and detailed local context for Jefferson's Monticello and the University of Virginia, which he rightly calls 'two of the world's greatest examples of the building arts.'" -- William Seale, author of The President's House
Review
"The Architecture of Jefferson Country is an amazing compendium of research and documentation and a model study of a county's architectural legacy. Albemarle County's architecture mirrors national trends, but also from its soil sprang some of the United States' most refined and historically significant creations and styles. From Thomas Jefferson's important essays at Monticello and the University of Virginia to the sophisticated work of twentieth-century Colonial Revivalists, Albemarle County and Charlottesville contain critically important architecture of interest to the entire nation, indeed, to the world." -- Richard Guy Wilson, author of Thomas Jefferson's Academical Village: The Creation of an Architectural Masterpiece and coauthor of The Making of Virginia Architecture
