This Saturday, May 12, join the Mid-Atlantic Insitute of Classical Architecture & Art for an exclusive tour of Blue Ridge Farm designed by renowned architect William Lawrence Bottomley and landscape architect Charles Gillette as well as a guided tour of Jefferson's University of Virginia Campus. It will be a day not to miss; I'll be there, will you? For details on attending, visit the website linked above and go to "Chapter Events". Only a few spots are remaining so sign up today!
Will you be doing a follow up post after your tour? I do hope so, as I would love to see more and sadly attending myself is not possible! I'm off to look up more about Bottomley...

Yes, please do a post! It is my littlest's birthday and I have house guests otherwise I wouldn't miss it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time! There are lots of great buildings on the UVa grounds (Interestingly enough, Mr. Jefferson didn't use the term "campus"). Here is a link to UVa's web page about ongoing preservation efforts there:
