Poplar Forest: Completed in 1819, this one story,
octagonal-shaped brick structure was built by Thomas Jefferson as a country retreat. Jefferson once described it as "the best dwelling house in the state, except for Monticello," but better proportioned to the needs of a private citizen.
Gutted by fire in 1845, it is in the process of being substantially restored by the
Corporation for Jefferson's Poplar Forest.
