University of Virginia, Pavilion IV, East Lawn, University of Virginia campus, Charlottesville, Charlottesville, Virginia
Summary
1984 Charles E. Peterson Prize, First Place
Significance: Designed as a combination faculty residence and lecture hall by Thomas Jefferson in June, 1819, Pavilion IV is one of the ten pavilions on the University of Virginia's Lawn. For inspiration Jefferson drew upon Roland Freart de Chambray's Parallele, depicting the Doric Order of the Temple of Albano, south of Rome. Like Pavilions I, II, and V, this pavilion is one of Jefferson's pure temple-form designs. From 1825 to 1904, the Pavilion was a residence, its first tenant having been George Blaettermann, professor of modern languages. From 1904 to 1948 the Pavilion served as the office of the University's president. Since 1948 it has, once again, been a faculty residence.
